Multi-tasking
I've been doing my usual multi-tasking on my projects. Yesterday I was finishing off a crochet blanket by joining the sqs together and today I'll be working in the edging. I also made nine patch blocks for a swap and quilted a top, as well as the usual household chores.
This afternoon I have to work so there won't be much done craft-wise. I want to get the blanket finished to send to the Pakistan earthquake victims. I've found I have enough sqs on hand to make another 1 and a half blankets too. I just crochet the sqs when I have time for hand work and keep them in a plastic tub. When the tub gets too full then I put them together into blankets. Looks like I need to crochet a few more sqs for more blankets and take some time to watch cricket on TV.

Welcome! It sounds like you're extremely productive. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
I share your interest in doing quilts for charity-I do the same for another group, we focus on orphans around the world-though we have sent quilts to similar situations as you do. thanks for sharing your quilts and being a part of stash quilts! Cher
Hi Jan!
I've refound my love for crochet too...especially when my quilting callouses are too sore to want to keep quilting, or my eyes are too tired to want to really see in focus....crochet is great! I'm working on an afghan right now, kind of a lacy pattern in very soft cream yarn...it feels good through my fingers! What pattern are your crochet squares? Are they granny squares?

Happy 2006, Jan! A late greeting -- I'm just getting caught up on blog reading
