If you've been reading post lately, you know our Dear Friend, Katie B sends knitted and crocheted goodies all the way from a military base in Germany. If that doesn't make you believe in the goodness in people......I don't know what will. Thank you, Thank you Katie for remember your roots back here in Ohio and thank you to you and your husband for serving abroad. We are lucky to have people like the two of you serving us.Katie's on going support of our cause is soooooooooooo awesome. She's crocheted and donated 10 cotton washcloths, 6 scarves, and 11 hats. Katie...you ROCK!

Very nice donation Katie...as a fellow veteran I thank you for all that you do and as Sandy said it is wonderful that you remember your roots here in Ohio. Love the pattern for your hats. Is it hard?
ReplyDeleteThank you Katie for the great donation and for the service for the USA.
ReplyDeleteThank you Katie, beautiful donation.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone! My husband is the soldier in the family and since there aren't many job opportunities on our small base, crocheting for charity makes me feel like I'm doing something productive. I'm very thankful the military has provided us the opportunity to see the world but I will always be a Midwestern gal at heart.
