Posted - Feb 11 2009 : 3:38:40 PM During these trying financial times there are many people in need of warmth and comfort. Providing these things is something Farmgirls are great at!
Anyone want to join me in a Crochet/Knit-Along for charity? I'd love to see how many blocks we could get done! They only need be 7" x 9". . . we could whip out a bunch, girls! Here is the website http://www.warmupamerica.org/home.html Let's see how many we can get done by April 1, 2009! The final deadline is set! Please have your blocks to me by April 25 to be included in the Farmgirl Blanket for Warm-Up America! Thanks so much!
If you haven't time to crochet or knit, perhaps you have yarn to contribute?
You can drop off blocks at most Michael's stores, or send to me to join together.
Sign up on here and we'll tally up once a week!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! She's all done! I LOVE this blanket made by Farmgirls! Seriously, it just feels SO wonderful. Really, I want one! It has a very satisfying weight to it (if your a blanket girl, you know what I mean). I edged it with 3 rounds of single crochet in Natural. The blanket will be taken to the donation site this weekend. I am so very honored and humbled to work on such a wonderful project with such wonderful ladies! Thank you again!

Posted - Apr 09 2009 : 12:12:53 PM If anyone is still working on blocks please let me know. I'm already having to plan out through May to have an order completion schedule, so I'll need to make some time for stitching the blocks together and photographing.
Thanks so much to everyone who's already sent in their blocks!

Posted - Mar 30 2009 : 11:05:43 AM Theresa did you email me via MJ's? I am having an ongoing problem with receving ANYTHING from MJ's even my subscriptions. I have to contact my ISP evidently since that must be where it is getting blocked...not sure what to do. I will email you my email address so you can send me your address without going through the MJ website here. If you send it from here I won't and didn't get it. Sorry for the confusion...I hope to get thi sfixed soon but today I need to make a block for my quilt class tomorrow and I am already behind the 8 ball! It's 1:00 p.m. and I haven't even started yet...thanks!

I received your box today and got a bit misty eyed! You are so generous to donate so many lovely pieces of work and extra yarn along with your blocks! I thank you so much! The giving nature of all of you has been so healing to behold. I am thinking up some fun for ya'll to say thank you when we are all complete!
Let's extend our deadline . . . everyone who's still working on blocks, just keep on truckin' and send 'em in when you can.

I'm glad that you got the blocks okay. You are too kind on commenting on them!
I actually got the idea for wrapping from one of the farmgals here on an older post (and I saw it on the Pleasant View Schoolhouse blog)

Wow, you are speedy woman! I received your blocks today and they are lovely! Love the blues! Thank you so much! They were wrapped so cute too, mind if I steal that idea? ;) Oh, and by the way, your "beginner" knitting looks much better than mine!

Posted - Mar 09 2009 : 07:54:24 AM Sandra,
Oh, man. . . do I know what you mean! I've got SO many things on my radar right now, crazy! Don't put any pressure on yourself, sister, you are doin' just fine. Let's just go ahead and set the April 1st deadline as the mail date, that'd be ok.
Thanks again!
