Afghans Warm those in Need

Thank you Pat C for afghan donation!  What a pretty and very colorful afghan.  This very much looks like a quilt design to me.  Very pretty.  The lady that receives this is going to be thrilled.  Cuddling up under this will surely put a smile on her face.

This 2nd afghan sorta reminds me of the log cabin design; but it might have a different name, as I believe too is a traditional quilt design. Not sure the colors show up quite right in this picture.  The smallest squares are red, while the rectangles are blue (something between navy and bright blue) and lavender.  Fun design.  I think this could work for a male as well as a female.

PLEASE keep checking in, as I will continue to show donations coming in, and provide listings of charities you might like to support after operations cease here on Bridge and Beyond come Dec .31.  Please remember the last date to mail donations is the 24th of Dec.

Some of the charities aid the homeless, some pregnant women, some kids transitioning out of foster care, and native Americans on Pine Ridge Reservation.  Locations vary, so you might find one of the charities listed is in your area, or close to you like a border state; making postage perhaps less costly.

Below is the listing with a very brief description, but PLEASE click on the links to see details about what they accept, what fiber to use, who benefits from the charity and where to mail items.

Donations for The Wee Ones

Thank you Joanne R for this cute donation for wee ones.  As those of you who've visited the blog frequently know, this is an unusual donation for Bridge and Beyond, as this age group isn't our targeted audience; but Homeless Families will pass it along, so that someone can benefit from it.  Aren't the little pink socks adorable!

Thank you Joanne.

Just 3 more days to mail donations, last day being the 24th of December with operations ceasing for Bridge and Beyond on the 31st.

Hats Warm Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Karen S for your thoughtful donation of hats and a scarf.  Karen looms the hats and uses the croknit hook to make her scarves.  The picture above is her most recent donation.  And as always she nicely tags her hats with size with a cute heart shaped tag.

This donation preceded the first picture; but some how this picture got buried in a wrong folder on my computer and I found it just the other day.  You can even tell the pictures were taken 2 different times, you can see sunshine in this 2nd picture, and we don't get much of that around here this time of the year.  Again you see Karen's cute hearts she uses to tag the hats with size.  Great variety in her hat colors.  Something for everyone here.  

Many thanks Karen!
