• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What do you crochet?

Happy, I think I have a pattern somewhere for the coaster! I dig through my patterns and see if I can find one.

I'm not so good with doilies - can't get them to lay flat.

I crochet mostly afghans, working on an American flag right now. This is my fourth. I've also mad Christmas ornaments.

Several years ago I made baby outfits and sold them.

Oh, yes! I just remembered my Prairie Star afghan. It looks like the Prairie Star quilt. I loved making it. You don't have to sew each motif together. You crochet them together as you go.

It would probably be easier to list what I DON'T Crochet, but here is a stab at what I do:


Toys-bears, puppies, kittens, balls, backpack critters, finger puppets. Many are donated to the local children's advocacy center.

Blankets-for babies and adults, all colors all styles. Most are donated to Project Linus, but some are gifts for family.

Clothing-hats, mittens, scarves, sweaters, vests, shawls, socks, legwarmers. booties, ponchos

Jewelry--earrings, chokers, necklaces, bracelets, pins

hair stuff--barrettes, scrunchies, headscarves

decorating -doilies, tablecloths, filet pictures, pillows, picture frames

Odds and ends--bookmarks, Easter eggs, Christmas decorations (angels, balls, snowflakes), doll clothes, coasters, hotpad, potholders, washclothes, back scrubbers, bath puffs


I have most likely forgotten stuff. Can you tell I like to keep busy?:D Most items are given away to charity or to family and friends as gifts.
