Several years ago, our guild was blessed by a donor named Elsie W.
Several years went by without hearing from her, and then, a surprise message came for us through the Guild Association office: would I call her, please?
Yes, I would - and I learned that Elsie had moved from the west side of the state to the east side, and that she had not forgotten Katie's Comforters.
Elsie wanted to know if she could send me some blankets which she wanted to donate to Seattle Children's Hospital through our guild.
Yes, please!
Today, I opened a box and found these two soft, cozy knitted blankets inside:
The yarn is super fuzzy: thick, yet light, and feels a little bit like holding a favorite pet.
Elsie asked if we would like her to make more of these for our guild to donate.
Yes, please! - so she has already started to make more.
We are grateful to Elsie for remembering Katie's Comforters, after a huge life-change like a big move, and for her generous desire to donate comfort to others. Thank you, Elsie!
