Jacque Mazey’s pool table room in her Perrysburg home looks huge now.
Since late 2014, the boxes had been stacking up, boxes that contained afghans the 67-year-old retired medical assistant was crocheting for the Cleveland Indians.
She spent three to four weeks on each red, white and blue creation and estimates every 7½-foot blanket required one million stitches.
Just after Labor Day, Mazey reached her goal of finishing by this September. She and her husband James shipped 47 afghans, each box including a hand-written note, to the Indians clubhouse.
Their UPS bill was $585. The cost if she’d sold them at craft fairs at her usual price of $125 was $5,825.
