do you have a VFW near you? the ladies ,wives of our vets, sometimes take the donated yarn and quilting supplies and make lap quilts for the local Va hospital, i recently started to help the ladies here make some . the do it the first tues. of the month, one lady brought in 7 cocheted afgans , to donate so pretty, they say this lady can sit and make her afgans and hardly look at her hands doing the work, just a idea.
