My afghans have been and will always be my favorite items. They take many hours to create and when finished are so thick and warm. I love giving them to people as gifts. When I sell one, I know I am giving someone a quality product that is comfortable and will help them relax.

And I love this:

Look how pretty this is! It looks so delicate. What a wonderful gift!
