Another Beautiful Finished Shawl

Paola shared this photo of the gorgeous shawl made by her mother-in-law.

Isn't it lovely?

Thanks for the photo -- one picture is worth a thousand words.

Please be sure to thank your Mother-in-Law.
She is such a delightful lady and it was wonderful having her join us.

Everyone is invited to join in .............

On Thursday, May 5, 2011 there will be a new Prayer Shawl group meeting.  Everyone is invited to come. We will meet at 9 AM in the Westminster Room at St. Thomas More Church, 215 St. Thomas More Drive (at Highland Avenue) in Elgin. Everyone who wants to be a part of this wonderful project of creating shawls to be given to someone who could use some extra loving warmth and care  is welcome to attend.  Those of you who have begun your shawls at Sherman Hospital are most welcome to come and share the fellowship and warmth of being together while creating these shawls.  Invite family members to come with you, ask your friends if they would like to spend and hour (or more) sharing and caring.  There will again be someone there to help new crocheters -- and we hope someone to help with knitting too.  For more information, contact Sharon Hall at 847-888-1682 extension 16 or you can email me at prayershawl2011@gmail.com .

Follow up for a few of the crocheters and first time for three more.

How talented all these wonderful people are -- and what a thrill it will be
when the finished shawls are wrapped around someones shoulders.
Thank you all, it has been a pleasure.
