Friendship-ghan Square CAL...UPDATED IN POST 1

[Sweetpossibilities]

Well I'm excited because I bought some crochet books on amazon and they are expected to arrive sometime around the 9th (I just hope that I did the link thing here correctly because I didn't get a notice that any donations went to cville). I got the 200 blocks one the 144 motifs and one that is all about afghans!!!!! So I'm hoping to be able to come up with even more square ideas! And Sue i will need a new list please .

[hhensler]

Good morning...

 

I just wanted to let everyone know my idea for my friendship-ghan...

 

I have already asked for multiple sized squares - and believe me when I say, I will be thrilled with any size...even 1,2,3" squares! I don't mind sewing them all together, in fact I am hoping for a BUNCH of little ones...

 

What I would like to end up with is a sort of "friendship, crazy-quilt/ghan"...

 

So, in addition to the multiple sized squares, I would like to add that I will gladly accept knitted squares as well, and I would love to smother the finished afghan with embellishments...things like crocheted/knitted flowers, butterflies, or lengths of decorative border/lace (all made from pink/cream ww cotton yarn)to help hide seams, and add intrest/texture to the top of the afghan. So...if you are interested in sending those types of items...I would love them!

The rooster is on the move and crowed at midnight. I mailed it out yesterday.

 

And Sue i will need a new list please .

 

Will do!

I forgot to add that my sister really likes these and uses them in ways other than in the picture. Sometimes she puts the towel in the tab part and puts the loop over a door knob. She also has some towels that have a potholder for a topper. She puts the tab part throught the potholder loop, buttons it around the bar and pushes the loop to the back so it isn't seen. Sometimes she runs the tab around through the loop and then buttons it.

I'll have to see what I can think of to make. It sounds like it will be a work of art.

You're welcome. I'm glad it was okay.

I mailed him a post card yesterday so he is going to hit the jackpot this week.

I've managed to get a few more squares done this weekend so my goal today is to get them all packaged up. I think I just about have everyone covered. There may have been a couple of additions that I may need addresses for but I'll check later this afternoon.
