Comfortghan Request - Updated 6/23

[CatsCradleCreations]

A lady from my church is supporting her hubby as he battles cancer. I'm not sure what all the details are, but it seems to be lymphoma~~they found a mass in his neck and when the doctors checked it out, there were malignant tumors spread throughout most of his lymph nodes. Margie and Jerry didn't know how bad the cancer was until after the surgery when the multiple tumors were found.

I'm not sure what his progress to date is, but a couple of months ago, Jerry was still recovering from another surgery. This family has been in my choir's prayers for a long time, but I think it would help for them to know there are other people who care for them in their situation. :manyheart


'Ghan Details:
I don't know what color their decor is, so I'm guessing that they would appreciate any color combination. I'm thinking 7" squares, and I'll probably join them with off-white. I'd like to make this a "standard" sized ghan.

Okay, just for the sake of trying to coordinate the colors a bit, let's make this one in country colors. I'm still planning on joining with off-white, so any muted shades would be more than welcome.

If you've already started squares for this 'ghan and they're not in muted colors, that's okay. I'll use them where they look best! :D

Thank you all for your help! :hug :hug

[Seneca and Scooch]

Oh good! I started the ones I am making in Country Blue and Soft White. Please PM me your address and I will mail them out tomorrow. :)

~Melissa~ your squares are on their way. You should receive them by the middle of the coming week. There is 10-11 squares in a small white box. Be on the lookout for it. I put "Crochetville Squares" on the back of the box.

I finally was able to mail your squares today. I am sending 4. 3 of them coordinate with each other, one does not. Hopefully it will be similar in color to others you get.

With the squares I've received, have been promised, and the ones I'm making for the choir, I now have enough squares to make this comfortghan. Thank you all for helping make this happen for a wonderful couple! :ty I'll make sure that they know that a lot of caring women put their hearts into making this blanket for them. :c9

I'll do my best to post a picture as soon as I get my choir's contribution completed and I have all squares arranged.

Betty,

I really appreciate your offer to help, but I think I have enough squares from those dontated and the ones I'm working from donated yarn from my choir. I recommend checking some of the other comfortghan threads and see if there's a need for squares there. :ty for you offer! :hug:hug:manyheart
