It's a good thing this isn't done in person, because I would be at your feet, on my knees, obnoxiously saying "please, please, PLEEEEEASE can I have that beautiful granny square afghan??????" like a three year old.

Except I'm much older than that, so
it would come across a little psycho.

You do beautiful work. I've tried 3 times to make an afghan, and let's just say...I've been encouraged to pursue other talents ;)

Beautiful and cozy looking - what a generous offering!

Jennifer Bogart said...

My favorite of the two is waterfall because my bedroom comforter is blue and green, the same shades as in the afghan. They would match nicely. You do beautiful work, thank you for the generous giveaway. I don't know how you could part with any one of your beautiful pieces.

I like them both as they are both beautiful :) The waterfall colors are so calming and the granny square one remind me of my grandmothers house when i was a child as she had one.

Jeanette J said...

They are both wonderful but I think I like the Waterfall the best because of the cool calming color

Dawn said...

These are beautiful! I can't believe you are willing to part with either of them. I can't decide between them. The Granny Square is colorful and bright and the Waterfall is calming.

Flipping a coin I get Granny Square.
