Delightful Surprise
Mary (Making Scrap Quilts from Stash) is in the process of packing her Minnesota household and organizing boxes to be moved to two separate houses so she and her husband can be closer to help their parents. Mary contacted me about a month ago and asked if I could use some yarn for my charity knitting.
I accepted Mary's offer with the condition that anything I could not use would be passed on to another group. Last week, two large boxes of yarn arrived at my door. Mary's generosity took my breath away.

Mary sent a wide section of colors Caron Simply Soft that I'll use to make baby blankets for the Oddball project. I need to select some stitch patterns and get my needles clicking.
Thank you, Mary for your generous contribution to my charity knitting and to the prayer shawl ministry at the Methodist Church.
A lot of good can be accomplished when we work together and pool our resources. Many people will be blessed by this gift.
ReplyDeleteThe was generous of Mary and she chose a good person to send it to because you were willing and able to share the wealth. I've been following her blog for a few years and have even sent her a couple of Heartstrings tops. I hope their move goes smoothly. She is certainly well organized.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to know it will all go for a good cause....
ReplyDeleteThe knit world is a generous world. Thanks for your charity work too Nancy
ReplyDeleteKnitters are the most generous people in the world, I think. Have fun with the new charity blankets.
ReplyDeleteI know Mary will be pleased to see her yarn put to good use.
Thank you Mary and Thank you Nancy for the sharing and kindness you bring. I know the yarn will go to many a good project and cause.

ReplyDeleteHow nice! It looks like you and the Prayer Ministry are going to be very busy.
ReplyDeleteI love the way God works.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I did not touch my mother's stash; in fact, I was told at her memorial service that some of it belonged to their charitable group anyway. I merely gave them permission to take it all. Now, I need to figure out what to do with my half of Rosanne's luxurious stash...
