dimples Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 HI, As some of you know I have a young son with down synrdome and my husband has brain cancer. Our funds are extreamly limited. A week ago my friend Kristi and her family(3 boys--ages 8,10,14, husband and kristi) were evicted from their home because they can't pay the rent. They all moved in with us(makes 9 total in our home now). They have very little to give the boys so I thought if some of you have crocheted squares you could donate to me I could sew them together and make blankets for each child. My family has no way of buying them anything but maybe I can get them a blanket each made by christmas. color not important, kind of stitch used not important,would appreciate any. PM me if you can help me with this. thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfreck Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 what size squares are you looking for? I think that would be kind of important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimples Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 sorry, forgot that. Thanks to a suggestion that i had not thought of, maybe 12' quares would be a great size. Thanks to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teakaycee Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I would be happy to send you some squares. Just a little suggestion... you might consider 12" squares. 12 ~ 12" squares make a nice size blanket. if you're looking at 5" squares... that will be alot of squares and alot of sewing. Unless you dont mind that! But getting enough squares sent to you and put together for 3 blankets might be better to be bigger squares. Just a thought.

marpan79 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I just got mine to the post office yesterday...sorry I was running a bit behind, it was a busy week. I tried Monday, but with the holidy it was super crowded and I didn't have the time to wait. But, at least now it's on it's way. Please let me know when you receive it since I didn't get the delivery confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crsheridan Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I have finally finished the squares for the blankets you'd like to make. I hope it's not too late to send them. They'll be in tomorrow's mail so maybe you'll have them by Wed. or Thur of this week. SC to FL shouldn't take too terribly long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimples Posted December 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Just wanted to say a great big thank you to all who sent squares. I did get 2 blankets finished. I would still love to make another for the older boy if anyone would like to send squares that were not able to during the holiday stuff. I am sure the 2 smaller boys will love them. Sorry I can't post a pic,I have no camera(it took a swim LOL!). MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
