Anyone who knows me knows that I spend a lot of time sitting at my sewing machine. I am usually involved with a new quilting project because that's one of my favorite things to do. But I used to make memory bears for hospice and I've made a few memory quilts for friends or neighbors. I make small colorful baby quilts for area hospital NICUs and that always makes me feel good.
Yesterday there was a post on my Facebook page asking if anyone could make or donate scarves or hats (gently used or new) and I thought "I can do that." So off to the store to buy some fleece....and today I drop about 40 scarves off in Cedarburg. Soon they will go to homeless Vets in our area. A little enough effort on my part to help some folks find a little warmth this winter.
A pile of fleece on my carpet, but one by one I hope they wrap around someone's neck and help just a little. These didn't even require any sewing, but still, I felt good making them. It's an anonymous way to reach out and "touch" someone....the least I can do.
