With only 2 weeks to complete projects and get them in the mail off to Debbie Macomber, those JIFFY projects are the smartest way to make sure that projects don't stay in UNFINISHED land.
Here's another JIFFY project that is extra easy for our Farmgirl crocheters and really gives you time to stitch several lovely gifts of love and really do what Farmgirls do best....... make our world more loving and caring!

Thinking about making caps for PREEMIES for Debbie's selected "NEWBORNS IN NEED".....
Remember that Preemie caps should fit over an orange to be the correct size. For full-term newborns, the cap should fit over a grapefruit.
Making preemie and newborn caps are FUN, FABULOUS and FAST!

Hope your May days have been filled with happy hours. Here's a nice way to fill up a little of those May hours with this very popular KNIT CAP from LION BRAND that makes a sweet and adorable cap for babies. You'll also find some variations too.
Just grab your favorite baby yarn and let's knit some of those darling caps for "KNIT 1 BLESS 2" for 2011.

To our Farmgirls........ A SPECIAL MESSAGE from DEBBIE.....
"Knit1, Bless2 Program.....My heart is filled with gratitude for all of you who have sent knitted and crocheted garments for my Knit1, Bless2 program. As of last Friday, we had received 2,050 beautifully crafted donations for needy children. Only 450 to go to meet my goal of 2,500 for this year! With the deadline of May 31, there's still time to send garments and blankets! You'll find a mailing label in the Knit1, Bless2 section of my website. "

For those who didn't know that Debbie Macomber recently spent time in the hospital and had to cancel some of her book tour..... here's more of Debbie's special message ......
"I am humbled by the many, many emails and Facebook messages you sent me upon hearing that I had to cancel two signings at the beginning of my A Turn in the Road tour. Thank you one and all for your lovely notes of concern.
I had a few scary hours when I thought I was having a heart attack. As it turned out, the symptoms I experienced had nothing to do with my ticker, and my stay in the hospital was just overnight. After a couple of days of rest, I had the old Macomber spunk back and was able to set out for the remainder of my tour. (Before heading to the hospital, I took a bath and changed clothes. If I was going to keel over I wanted to be squeaky clean and wearing pretty underwear. My mother would have been so proud!)"

Deborah and Julie
You are both very-very welcome! Debbie is going to be thrilled. I think she has a really good chance of making her goal.
I know everything received is very appreciated! Debbie assistant, Renate, writes me and lets me know when my boxes have arrived.
Thanks for your help here and to all our Farmgirls who may have also been knitting and crocheting for "KNIT 1 BLESS 2" for 2011!

Well, it's about that time for Farmgirl Sisters to think about wrapping up any project that you might be working on for "KNIT 1 BLESS 2" within the next few days.
With Memorial Day weekend getting closer, it's a good idea to see that any unfinished project can be wrapped up by next Tuesday to allow that mailing time to get to Debbie Macomber's address in Washington.
I am certain that Debbie will very much appreciate all the lovely items that our Farmgirls have made who did participate in the 2011 event.

There are lots of JIFFY patterns included here in this forum that I have shared for any Farmgirls who are interested in participating on behalf of DEBBIE MACOMBER and the 3 special organizations that she has selected as the recipients of the lovely creations received.
It is now the Final Week to complete whatever you might be wanting to make for DEBBIE MACOMBER'S "KNIT 1 BLESS 2" PRoject for 2011..... officially wrapping up the day after Memorial Day.

NOW is the really FABULOUS TIME.......... yes, it's the end of the road time which is actually a special beginning for those that will be receivng the gifts of love made by the Farmgirls who have participated in the 2011 "KNIT 1 BLESS 2" Project that Debbie Macomber has launched for the 2nd year in a row.
With Memorial Day weekend coming up and the last day being May 31st, now is the time to wrap things up and packed for mailing.
No matter how many hats or bibs or blankets that you have, each will be very much appreciated by the babies and the children who'l be the recipients of FARMGIRL LOVING HANDS and HEARTS!

Teresita, Thanks so much for introducing me to this project. I mailed out my package this morning. Besides improving my stitching I was able to rationalize playing with yarn by completing small, useful projects. I plan to learn more of the jiffy projects to add for next year.

Judith,
Thanks SO MUCH for sharing your message. I am glad you have enjoyed working on JIFFY projects. Like you, I do think jiffy projects are Fabulous ways to improve one's stitching and also to explore new avenues that we might not take the time in our busy lives to get acquainted with and visit.
A Jiffy Project is a great sampler of something we might not have tried or something we might be revisiting again as in meeting up with an old friend and being excited all over again in friendship.
While sharing our time and our love for a special project, it's as if that love and blessings that we send out just returns right back to our hearts like a dove returning to its nest.
Thanks to all the Farmgirls who have been a part of "KNIT 1 Bless 2" for 2011 on behalf of The MARY JANE FARM FARMGIRL CONNECTION.
