The Bernie Afghan Clan.....who's a member?
« on: June 16, 2011, 08:31:00 PM »
I've bid on many of Bernie's wife's afghans on the St Judes forum for years and never won one till this year.  Just received mine.....DOUBLE WOW!!!

I'm kicking myself in the BUTT for not winning many more in the previous actions.  These things are true works of art.

I will win another next year God willing.

Who else is has been lucky enough to win one???

I have a few, and won a baby Afghan in the auction last year. As ApplePie and his wife had twins, Miss Rose graciously made a second Afghan for the other baby.

Bernie and Rose are a matched set of stellar human beings. They consistently go above and beyond, doing their level best to make the world better. We are all blessed to have them in our midst.

Bernie will say that I laid it on a little thick. I believe that I could get a few thousand people to attest to the honesty of my nature and assessments.

Bless all of you. Accolades from the likes of the above posters is truly meaningful to us both. I'll even just be grateful for the kind words from all of you, and not questions what might be "EXCESSES" - LOL - at least for now    ;)

Rose enjoys making the afghans (and I am so proud of them and her talent), and we truly do enjoy what little bit that we can do for the kids and for our friends.

I was very fortunate to win one during last year's auction.  It is very much treasured!  I need to win another one for my wife.

If you're looking for pics of the afghans you still can find this years "crop" on both the listing and bidding forums for the St. Jude auction, here on TG If you are wanting pics of these great "gangers" swaddled in theirs, you'll pretty much have to ask them, I'm afraid - LOL. That'd be neat to see. Thank you for the thanks also.

Here's a sample or two. This one is a Lap Robe, on it's way "down Under" to Australia for Ben Maher, even as we speak:

   

And this nifty little (2 piece) number is on it's way to Karen, Doug Cambell's lovely wife, in the great state of MT:

   

Thanks to those two and all the other generous winners of SJ2011 (oh, and sorry, Terry, I couldn't resist the urge & golden opportunity - GO ST. JUDE AUCTION    :archer:

Oh, and here is TGer, Preston Roberson's nephew, Erin, wrapped in his Uncle and Aunt's "house gift" from us during a deer hunt at their place:

 

Even up and coming young traditional archers love Rose's afghans (NO, she Does Not sell them!)

I won several a few years ago. I will say I'm blessed to own them. And when your snuggled on the couch there is certainly a special aura those beautiful things put off.

God bless Bernie and Rose!
