I am crossing my fingers that this will post properly as Blogger is finally letting me load more pictures of the sewing party.
Hard at work are Ann (front right), my primo buddy Carole (center) and Debbie (top left).
These women took to the task and how.
I don't have a pic of Jean Anne but that girl worked her butt off.
This is the frontside of Gracie's blanket.
When I talked to Carole yesterday all the panels had been sewn up and she was finishing the edging. Which means almost done!
These blankets are looking so good and there is so much good energy in these. Carole said that sewing up Gracie's made her feel so good.
This is the front side of Simone's blanket. I don't have an update but I am sure Ann is well on her way. Ann, who is working at getting her Master Knitting Certificate, will certainly be doing a fantabulous job on putting together Simone's blanket.
I will be thrilled if this makes it way onto the net; pink power will blast it's way through Blogger boo-hoo-ness!
Awesome!!

The blankets look beautiful already. And all those lovelies look like they were meant to be together, dontcha think? Amazing that, really. Considering they were all knit by different people not really knowing what everyone else was up to. Really, an awesome sight ;0)And what about all those sewers? Aren't knitters great?

YAY, I saw some of my squares!Hooray! I wish I could be there to help you sew. If you ever have need of sew-persons and you're tapped out in Canada, you could send those squares to me!

My square was sent with Katrina's package. I will send more soon. I plan to earn more stars by my name. Being a beginner, hearing about your cause has really given me a chance to practice knitting and casting on and off. I recently received approx. 50 different colors of yarn as a gift, along with 20 or so different size crochet hooks, craft books galore, hundreds of needles and spools of thread, complete with two identical sewing macines (one for parts, just-in-case). My ultimate goal is to practice and learn until I can use these sentamental gifts to contibute to your much needed kind gesture. And perhaps one day I'll be confident enough in my handiwork to do the same and start another from scratch. Thank you for your inspiration and keep a look out for my 7 in 7 package. You'll be seeing a lot more from me.

Superb work there are some great things here, on a bigger scale my friend knitted a complete cover set for aluminium garden furniture set, it was great warm and comfy, she put a lot of work into it and the design but I was bowled over with what she had done.
