Generous Donation From New York Help Ohio's Homeless

 LOVE LOVE this.  This is, I believe a traditional quilt style called pinwheel...if not someone please correct me.  Bright fun colors on a black background crocheted by a good friend and long tine supporter AnneMarie from New York.  What child wouldn't love this. Wonderful choice of cheery colors, ad perfectly sized for a child to snuggle up in.........AND frankly perfect for an adult as well for a lapghan.  Cause really what's not to love about this cute cute afghan!!

AnneMarie has been very busy crocheting slippers, and cotton cloths to go with her cute afghan above.....AND she's included socks.........clean dry socks which are always needed and appreciated--regardless of the time of year or the temperatures.

Many many thanks AnneMarie, you truly ROCK!

Afghans Celebrate an Important Move

 Another awesome ripple-ish type afghan from our good friend AnneMarie (if you missed yesterday's post, please scroll back to see her other afghans).  I say ripple-ish because it's sorta a ripple, but softer ups and downs.  This one is slightly different in that it has a bit of feather and fan to it (feather and fan are a common ripple style used in knitting).  LOVE the colors.  This will be great to snuggle up in.

And everyone knows this style afghan, the most recognisable style afghan that probably exists.  A granny style, beautifully made with bright cheery colors.  Two more lucky family's will receive these afghans through our Project Welcome Home, where we donate afghans as folks transition from shelter living to their permanent housing situation.  Something to celebrate.  Our afghans are a way to say Congratulations for moving forward, and best of luck for a brighter future.

As always, thank you for your generosity AnneMarie.  Keep up the good work.  Be sure and pop in tomorrow for the final box of goodies from AnneMarie
