afghans for Pine Ridge

[katyallen815]

hi all, for a while now i have been collecting squares from donors on another forum, then seaming them together to make a whole ghan and then post it out to Pine Ridge.  here are a couple i completed, for July mailing  I try to do 2 a month, we will see if that works out lol  again, all i do is put them together, its really the donors of the squares, and fine people in our group, and others  that make it shine, and possible so thanks goes to all of them   it takes a team, to achieve the dream.  thanks team!!

Great job Katy!  Pam would be proud.

A little background another lady started the group but passed away.  Katy stepped up and was able to get volunteer seamers to help divide out the work load.  The group is working together doing an incredible job from those that make and send squares to the seamers.  Great example of what working together can accomplish.

Anybody can say what they want, but when it comes to knitters, crocheters, quilters and other craft people, when asked we volunteer.

Beautiful afghans Katy.  I know they will be appreciated.
