So sorry to be so quiet lately: I’ve been slowly working on this beautiful afghan for my friend Deb. There are eight panels, and I’ve three left to seam. After that, a pretty border is all that needed, and it’ll be ready for its recipient.

Wow! Can you make me one?
I was thinking the same thing, Siri! Actually, Thi, you should just keep it for yourself.
My goodness Thi….what a wonderful treasure to receive this blog posting. The entire readership needs to know that this project is an act of true kindness and love by you.
This afghan project belonged to my mom, 87 yr old lovely Lori Carlin. Mom and I adored Thi and, together, we visited frequently at her wonderful shop. Mom was a great knitter and generous soul. She knitted afghans for all her kids, grandkids, greatgrandchild, neices, nephews, cousins, friends, and even some of her physicians. Alas, she had an unfinished project which was her own afghan — for 20 years she had been trying to finish it; knitter interrupted.
We brought it to Thi to help us because mom had lost the instructions and was overwhelmed. Thi took on the task of finding a knitter — but could not. Mom was ill….very ill and had been for the past couple years. When she passed away, our dear Thi told me she would personally finish this project. The tears poured from my heart then much as they are now here today as I read her blog and see the photos. This is the last gift of mom’s I will ever receive….
Bless you Thi Miller….no doubt in my mind that my darling mother is very pleased and will be so happy for me to receive this gift when you’re ready. It is as beautiful as you are. Thank you, thank you…..from my heart…..Deb
Deb, it has been very therapeutic to work on this and I always think of Lori when I pick up the needles to begin. She selected such a beautiful piece for herself. I’m just very lucky to be a part of it.
