6X9 Rectangles Donations Needed For Our Troops *UPDATE*

[pat54]

Deborah just wanted to let you know that I also have started on squares for the July event. I had to take a 5 hour drive with a friend this week and that makes a great time to do the squares. They are very travel friendly.

Drives are a great time to make 6"x9" rectangles - as long as you are not driving Excellent!

Redbud Girl have you given up sleeping just to make 6"x9" rectangles?? Your box arrived today! Thank you for the additional rectangles for the April Put Together (design) event!

Deborah, I haven't lost sleep doing the rectangles. I can crank one out in about 25 minutes. So I do that while watching TV at night. If you can recall the yellow ones in my box that you got yesterday, were they OK? In an email you sent out you were very specific about the yarn. The yarn I used was from Hobby Lobby and is called I Just Love That Yarn. It seems as strong, but is much softer. If it does not match your needs, I will not make any more rectangles out of it. Please advise. Good luck on the April PTE. I just wish I lived closer so I could be a part of it more.

 

I am trying to recruit more people for our cause. When I mention what I'm doing to my friends, they want private lessons on how to crochet, which I am happy to help. I have opened my home on Tuesday evenings to any friend or friend of a friend to come and crochet with me. Hopefully in a few weeks you will see the fruits of these new artists. You amaze me at all you do. My goal is to keep you plenty busy:lol.

HL "I Love Yarn" is perfect for making 6"x9" rectangles.... should have mentioned that in the list of "smooth" ww acrylic yarns that can be used... but we don't have HL so I forgot!

 

I do remember the BRIGHT yellow rectangles Bright colors are good for HAP afghans. We even have some designers who go hunting for bright colors.....

 

The Tuesday night Circles/Classes sound fun - wish I was closer so I could attend.

 

Keep on Crocheting!!!

I'm so sorry. I missed the deadline

Is it still okay if I send them this week for the next put-together?

[StarStrong]

If you could wait a couple weeks it would be really helpful but if not, mail away. For the next couple weeks I have a space/storage problem. This weekend at the Put Together (design) Event there most likely will be over 100 afghans designed/pinned and they have to be stored in the limited space we have..... but fear not - your 6"x9" rectangles are always welcome so do what works for you.... Thank you for helping to thank those wounded in service in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Thanks SO much to everyone who sent 6"x9" rectangles for the HAP Put Together (design) Event!!! :cheer:cheer

 

Your hard work has gotten us enough rectangles to lay out over 150 handmade afghans.

That's another 150 Wounded Warriors who will be warmed body and spirit.

Please keep on making 6"x9" rectangles - we have a ways to go.

The next scheduled event is in July 2008 so you have time to whip out some 6"x9" rectangles.

Thank YOU for helping to thank those wounded in service in Afghanistan and Iraq. :ty
