How generous and kind of you! In this day when it seems everyone is out to get the other guy, you have reaffirmed my belief in helping one humanity! The designs are cute and quaint, easy to stitch and will lift someones spirits if they should recieve one. I’m going to make a few and leave them with my food donations to our local food bank. They work so hard to help the needy without much feedback and they deserve some.
That is wonderful to hear and what a thoughtful thing you are going to do.
Thank you, Ruth!
