Heather that is turning out really pretty.

 

I just got back from the craft store (like I really needed to go there) Anyhow I decided to make my 3 nieces all ghans for xmas since they are older and I never know what to get them anyhow and since I made the nephews one. I bought lots of varigated for each of them with a solid color, so now just to decide how many rows of each to do and I should be all set to start. I was gonna do blended ghans for them since I am doing one for a nephew but I dont think im doing something right with it as it is even though Linda,Julie and Judy saw a pic and said I am lol. So I am gonna finish that one then I will try another blended in browns for my future BIL maybe I will like those colors better together. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

 

You are one brave lady! 3 ghans for Christmas! Are you doing the blended RRs? I know they go pretty quickly. Be sure and show us pictures here, too.

This is a graph of the one I'm doing for DH's Grandmother.

 

 

I'm using different colors though That's the colors from the block pictured that I copied.

Finally after 8 mths I have finished the Amish Bedspread which I made for my mum for Christmas. Photos all clickable

 

I draped it around me where I sit and chat to you all.

This shows the Amish Block

This shows the border that I used

This is sitting on my Queensize bed and it measures 70inches by 102 inches

 

1280 squares for the Amish

1064 squares for the Casablanca

2344 squares for 2007 I think thats enough for awhile.

wendy

i think you should stop thinking about quilted ghans and small squares for one more year after those two very huge afghans

you`ve done great job and need some rest and deserve things for your self

[QueenOfCrochet]

Wendy~Stunning, absolutely gorgeous. Great job! Your Mum is going to love it.

Isn't it insane? I really hate the cold. Doa's use to the cold because he works in a freezer all day, I coudn't do it.

 

 

 

I did but there's just no help for him.

Yep Mike's from northern MN and they get tons of cold and snow. All I hear now is how can you be cold it's not cold. Umm..it's 40 degrees outside Some people.

 

Thanks guys

Wendy I love it. You did such an awesome job. That border looks perfect with it too. Great decision on it. Also that picture of the amish wrapped around you is what I look like when I'm doing the borders or attaching squares.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Wendy, WOW!!!!! That is Stunning, Awesome, Wonderful!!!! That is a huge number of squares to have done in just a year. You are a Saltene Queen! No two ways about it. Hats off to you.

I am on the last row of my ME RR. Love it. Pictures later. Then I have to get back to work on the things that are due by Thanksgiving and Christmas (Kim's great-grandmother's bedspread,the LotL, Mr. Rooster, & DD's RR.)

[JulieKay]

Linda- you are braver than me, it'd make me a nervous wreck to work on a thread heirloom like that !

 

I'm sure you'll do a fine job of it, though .

 

Heather your patches are looking good !

 

Wendy-- wondeful afghan-- I commented someplace else on it too, it is certainly a labor of love .

[judianne]

Thanks guys

[Misa]

Good morning ladies

 

Wendy - OMG! I'm just beyond words to use! Your Amish is, well, breathtaking! Excellent job! I'm sure your mum will cherish it

 

Linda - You're braver than me, too I have a hard enough time with new stuff Wish I had the talent with thread that you have

 

Heather - Yes, I am also curious as to color scheme you have chosen That quilt is gonna be amazing

 

Got some actual crocheting done last night Another 13 rows on my ME blanket. Dunno how much will get done today though. Bad pain But it'll be better soon

 

Have a great day y'all

[Misa]

Oh and BTW, Wendy, you'll be the sweetheart you are and let me add those photos to the gallery, right?

Afternoon Ladies,

 

Just wanted to reach out and touch. Missing in action due to setting up Xmas at the store. Have to catch on post readings later. Off to run errands. Will chat again later.

[Misa]

Valerie - Well howdy hon Hope you get some down time real soon

[busy-bee-lmt]

It's done! It's 30 rows instead of the usual 26 rows. I used baby yellow, bright yellow, cornmeal and gold. It's hanging over the sides of Kim & John's queen-sized bed a little.

John just checked in. The deer are winning again. Lots of sightings, but none shot.

[Misa]

It looks absolutely fabulous, Linda!! Excellent work And the deer seem to be back on their winning streak

[Skysmom]

Hi Valerie! It's good to hear from you.

 

Linda, your RR turned out so pretty. I'd like to try a blended RR; I made 2 RRs, but that was before the 'ville and I didn't know about it.

 

Lots of laundry when DH comes home from a long trip...that's done. He's mowing and I think it's time for me to get out my hook.

[Aussie]
