Incoming Squares Update

Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.Barbara De Angelis

There have been so many squares in the mail that I just can’t keep up with pictures! Thank you ALL for your hard work. I think we have enough squares, but we have another project going on to make bags to hold the squares. Some of you might want to get involved. Barbara and Sherry are working at gathering these donations, and they can tell you more about it. I’ll write more as soon as I am finished snapping pictures and writing thank you notes.

Akiko, whose nickname is Daisy sent these squares with a note. She was afraid that her squares had arrived too late. Daisy, if you read this, know that ALL of your squares will be used in afghans for children with cancer. You and the rest of the volunteers will be putting smiles on children’s faces

The Holy Spirit Singles Group in New Hyde Park, New York had a crochet day and the last one was to benefit Share A Square! They sent an ENORMOUS box filled with squares. I’ve already started using some of the ones they had rimmed in black to put together another of the “extra” afghans. Thank you, folks!

    Dear Shelly,
    Thank you for your warmhearted message. I’m relieved to hear that. And I really moved by your Afghan Gallery. It’s great!

    Your squares are beautiful, Daisy. I so appreciate you sending them! The children will definitely treasure the work you did.

    I’m thrilled that you have all your squares! I just uncovered the ones I made and was going to send them…do you still want them or do I need to find them another home? lol!
