Personal care items, socks, slippers, and 2 knitted hats from our good friend Yvonne from the state of North Dakota.
AND a darling no sew fleece blanket. How adorable is this! I flipped the corner so you could see the color on the reverse side. This adorable blanket will surely make some little one smile. Who can resist smiling faces after all. Many thanks Yvonne for your on going support of our people in need here in Ohio. The blanket was donated to Project "Welcome Home", and by the time you all read this scheduled post is already keeping a child warm.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know you accepted donations of afghans. What are the size requirements?
ReplyDeleteScharlet I make ghans from squares folks donated at certain times, and some elect to make a full ghan themselves. Both are fine and dandy. The ghans go to families as they transision from shelter housing into perm. housing as a house warming gift. Lots more details, click Welcome Home in the right sidebar. You can make almost any size.
