Bonnie has taken this project, and others including Traveling Hook III and made it work. She's devoted an incredible amount of time, effort and alot of her own resources to make all this work happen, and I am BEYOND grateful.

The drawing will be done in two days. Hopefully everyone's squares are on their way. If you haven't contacted me but have sent your squares in the past week, please do so in the next two days , I want to make sure everyone has a fair chance. I am letting my DGD do the drawing. She is 6 yo and thinks it is "cool". Remember your name goes in once for every square youo sent but every single square will have a chance.

I am interested in making squares. What kind of 8" squares? Does the pattern matter?

[jmccrochet]

This Traveling Hook project has come to an end. If you're interested in making squares we're doing a challenge for Friedreich's Ataxia Awareness. Check out the FA Awareness thread.

[jimbo]

Congratulations Nana! Its such a wonderous feeling having the hook go so far and to have been used by so many talented caring people, and to finally end up in the hands of someone who has such a feeling for its history and meaning! Now that's just special.

To think of how far that stick has traveled! And how many homes it's visited! And how many fond memories of loved ones lost to cancer have been passed through the hands of those using that hook and into the art that's been made.

 

I did a little piece on patina in my blog awhile back

 

http://jimbosfrontporch.blogspot.com/search?q=patina (April 12, 2007 entry)

 

And I'm thinking you now have a hook with a patina built from warm rememberances and many loving hands. And you're only going to make it better with yours.

 

I dedicated the hook to Sonny, who we lost to cancer; and I have to think how moved he would be at how this all happened and how grateful he would be to all who participated here.

 

 

Again Congratulations, Nana

 

And again thanks to all who participated in this project. It STILL amazes me! The whole project was just incredible.
