Hi Everyone!! My name is Deborah and I just joined Crochetville - I'm the person running "The Handmade Afghans to Thank Our Armed Forces Project" - or as Ro calls it "Rectangle6x9". A BIG thanks to Ro for spreading the word People like her are how this happens.

 

Recently we heard from our contact in Afghanistan - wanted to share the note:

"To Deborah and the rest of you supporting the project:

I wanted to send a small thank you from the patients and staff here at Bagram. Unfortunately we've been busy. But the patients truly appreciate your generosity. You should see the smiles. Well, hope everything is well on the Home Front. It's nice to know we're not forgotten over here.

Take Care, SSgt Carrissa A. ( Afghanistan )"

 

I wanted to thank you all for coming aboard and helping thank those wounded in service to our country, Deborah

If you are interested in crocheting together an afghan - don't let distance stop you!!

Let me know and I'll get one in the mail to you. Unfortunately only have the funds to mail the rectangle set so you'll have to contribute the postage to get it back to me.

There are 60 sets looking for hands to crochet them together.... so let me know!!

Thank you for helping to thank those wounded in service to our country, Deborah

I just found this one. I would like to be in on this in February. I have another charity project that I am currently working on, but I definitely want to get in on this one. My now ex-husband was stationed at APG for AIT.

 

Thanks,

Jillian

I'll see what I can do to make you some squares. I wish my hands were strong enough to assemble for you. Your afghans are really lovely. I enjoyed the news video so much. All you ladies seem so nice, caring, and giving.
