Just me checking in again about the box i sent! It was a large copy paper box green and white, had 217 squres in it wrapped in tissue paper along with a partial skein of colonial blue yarn, and a note to you. It has been almost 3 weeks since i mailed it.....hope it has gotten there....dont want to see the squares in the dead letter office! this has taught me to send a package with confirmation! lesson learned....

thanks for checking on this for me!

[Jimmie Lu]

Jimmie Lu, have you had a chance to take photos of all the squares? I would love to see them if you have. How are the afghans coming along? Wish we were all close enough to help out:hook

[Jimmie Lu]

Photo comming soon!!! You will all be surprised!!!! I have started to distribute the sqs to stitchers and have myself started a gahn and have finished one also

[jscase]

Can't wait to see how they are all coming together ... hope you received my squares, I just sent 4 ... but you should have gotten them by now.

sounds like the project was a success!

The image is clickable

this is the 545 squares I sent to Jimmie Lu for the ministry challenge. we stacked them on my bed and put my sweeties there to show the contrast.

[Jimmie Lu]

Thats amazing but hey I am trying to load the one of ALL the sqs here at my house. Should be up soon

[Jimmie Lu]

Hey dont forget the back of the sofa full of other items as blankets and Yes that is more squares

[Jimmie Lu]

I tried to resize that image and it just wouldnt go down. Humm??? If its to big a mod can resize it!!

[BarbaraJean]

Jimmie Lu, bless you for your time in this ministry. What a blessing you are!

[angelfire]

Jimmie Lu...this was a great project...congrats on all the squares that you received...your house has to be full and you have to be non-stop crocheting to get these put together...wish I was closer to help.

[Krystal16]

Holy Moly!

 

That is AMAZING!

 

I didn't contribute, as I do my own stuff and am SO FAR BEHIND, but that is WONDERFUL! Imagine when you walk into your ministry with all those blankets!

[coolhockeymom]

I can't even image I knew it too up a lot of room congrats on the big out pouring you should make a lot of people very happy

[salos]

Jimmie Lu, I would love to come sit with you and help you put all those squares together. That would be fun. Too bad we live so far apart.

 

Thanks for the photo. It's impressive!

[minwifeof4boys]

The pics of all the outpouring just gave me goosebumps! Gret job guys... and JImmie Lu, what a wonderful project to be working on!

[cluless]

I have NEVER seen so many squares in my life. You are gonna need a small army of stitchers to put those together. Great job everyone!

[Jimmie Lu]

So far my stitchers have put together 6 gahns with a few more expected done this week!!!

[Everyday Crochet]

Wow... that is amazing.

 

Have fun handing out the afghans.

[coolhockeymom]

So that means you have around 45 more to make right.

You will be seeing them in your sleep

[Jimmie Lu]

45+ there were over 2000 sqs

[Krystal16]

Oh my GOODNESS!

 

Jimmie, are you going to post pics of the afghans when assembled? The squares are pretty, but it would be nice to see them finished, too!

[Nashville Crocheter]

Wow! I've been off line the last few days. I just saw all the picture of all the squares Jimmie Lu got! Whew you are going to be busy.

 

It was fun helping

 

How often to you go to Mexico? Do you take blankets every time you go?

[Jimmie Lu]

we useually go one time a year!and yes I take blankets everytime. I think next summer we will be going to the Reservation in South Dakota and ALWAYS take blankets there.

I have been assembling and packing them. After we return in Nov. I will have pictures of them being given out. I hope thats ok. Packing is an essental part of the afgahn ministry. Every member is allowed 2 suitcases they pack one just for us. so as soon as they are finished they are given out and packed up. A good guess is I will have approx 30 afgahns this time.(+or-) last april I took 20 so we are going for a few more.
