No worries..... I've learned over the four years of The Handmade Afghans Project that sometimes I'm not clear.... or someone just hears something different than I thought I was saying. :D

 

We do use every rectangle... because I know that someone put a lot of working into getting it to HAP.

 

Oh btw I've heard the rectangles called all kinds of things.... so now I'll add panels to the list :hook

 

Thank you all for your support!!!!!!! :hug Deborah

Deborah,

 

I'll be sending mine out tomorrow or Saturday, I have red, burnt orange, brown, and I am working on some white to inlcude in this shipment, should around 23 or so rectangles althoghther.

 

 

Wonderful :clap I'll let you know when they arrive.

23 6"x9" rectangles will get us about halfway to another handmade afghan.

Our goal for February 3rd is to lay out 200 afghans :eek

Of course then we will need to crochet together all 200 (plus any of the ones left from December..... there are some left if anyone is interested in giving it a try.)

Thanks!! Deborah

Yes I was going to email you and volunteer to stitch together an afghan. So when I ship the rectangles I'll include my address if you want to send a set of rectangles my way. Are they stitched together with a Single Crochet join? Or are they whip-stiched?

They are single crocheted together - so they sort of look like the rectangles are framed.

One of our objectives is to have all the HAP handmade afghans look similar so when the patients see them it helps send the message that many people are thinking of them :ghug

When you get a moment check out the photos of ALL the finished handmade afghans at our Shutterfly link on the website www.rectangle6x9.org

 

I'll send you the crochet directions this evening.

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

I did a bunch more yesterday while watching the Packers win. I will be working on some at the hockey game today also. I will try to get them in the mail by the end of the week.

 

 

Excellent!!! Hopefully winning teams help you crochet faster :D

Will let you know when the 6"x9" rectangles are received.

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

Judy,

Way to go!! :cheer 6"x9" rectangles are a great way for someone to learn to crochet - we have many volunteers who have done this... now they are "experts".

Any 6"x9" rectangles you can mail off by January 25th would be appreciated for the February 3rd "Design" Event.

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

Deborah,

I will have a dozen rectangles going in the mail by Wednesday, with more of them coming at a later date. It makes me feel so good to know they're being used by men and women-who have the same dedication and courage as my own soldier son. Thankfully my son was one of the lucky ones and his injuries weren't serious-AND he's out of Iraq now, so giving something back feels good.

Lisa,

Please thank your son for his service. It is appreciated!! :hug

I'll let you know when the 6"x9" rectangles arrive....

Also thank YOU for your service to our country. Having a family member in the military also requires service on the part of their family. Deborah
