May you and your family enjoy a blessed New Year and a very peaceful and joyous Christmas. |

WOW you brought me to tears, I cant stand the thought of someone being alone You are so kind..........Merry Christmas.......Wendy
|
Very comforting and nice of all of you!
|
These are great! Thanks for the link and your adjustments. My niece has recently been diagnosed with cancer and will be starting chemo and/or radiation soon. I'm planning to make her a lap quilt and wanted to make a matching shawl type wrap also. This will be perfect!

What a great idea...this also would be perfect for those in hosptials, or anyone in wheel chairs or those who are in chairs most of the day at home...I also like the idea for using it to go to Football games. Perfect size and easy to carry.

Dollyo ~ Your post of the comfort wraps have obviously inspired so many here on the board and in particular this thread to make these wraps for those in need. You and your family effort are indeed examples of what "Giving from the Heart" is all about.
Thank-you again for your clear and straight forward instructions and adjustments. Many, many are going to be blessed because of your post. |
This is a great idea! I might have to borrow it!
|
Beautiful work! Only thing that could improve them would be pockets for cold hands and tissues. I work with the elderly and I'm sure they would love these! Thank you for your time and materials!
|
Thank you for posting the link. I know several people who could benefit from one of these wraps.
I have lots of scraps to use for this project. |
Just lovely, great job and thank you for sharing, GOD Bless you and your helpers
Have a Blessed day and New Year Ellen |
Wonderful - everything, but what is meant when the instructions call for "snuggles chocolate backing" and yes, pockets and a loop button would be great too - thanks
|
I had to Google it to find out what "Snuggles" was. It is a backing like minkee, but w/o the dots. It is made by Moda. The pattern is from the Moda Bakeshop. We used fabric that we would not use otherwise. The poly batting was from my earliest days of frame quilting. I now only use Soft & Bright.
|
This is a great idea. Still time to get some done for Christmas.
|
I think these are awesome.... when you wrap up in blanket or quilt sometimes they get too bunchy around the neck... the cut out is a great idea. I am flashing back to my days watching my son play football.. one of these would have been wonderful to have
|
My DH is undergoing chemo and he gets so cold. He has to layer blankets and gets tangled up in them. A wrap like this would keep him warm without tangling and still allow for the IVs and such. I am going to try to make one for him. Thanks for the idea. They are very nice and you are so good to make them for charity.
|
What a good idea. This is new to me.
|
It is very heartwarming to know that others are so thoughtful and giving. Just when I get depressed with the news, something wonderful like this appears and lifts my belief in the goodness of people.
|
Very Cool and such a wonderful thing for y'all to do.
|
What a wonderful gift for a nursing home (or anyone really). As a senior, I know how the drafts can effect joints, even in summer.
|
I'd like to echo the sentiments of those who have commented on this wonderful thread: What a generous work of charity in the true spirit of Christmas!
I was just wondering if the minky-like fabric would hold up in the washing and drying at the nursing home? |
I have never seen these. Think I would like one myself for my shoulders on these cold mornings. What a great project you ladies did !
|
Beautiful! What a wonderful family project.
|
Those are wonderful. Thanks jeaninmaine for posting this today and bringing the thread to the top, I would have totally missed it.
|
How sweet , thoughtful and generous!!so proud of you girls!!!
|
What a great idea! Thanks for thinking of those in assisted living.
|
Great idea and a wonderful thing to do. Merry Christmas
|
Yep... there are Angels among us. What a beautiful thing to do.
|
Yes, I am grateful, too. I would not have known about these wonderful shawls if you had not posted this again. I plan on making some for our local veterans' hospital.

I along with so many other's think this is such a wonderful thing that you've inspired other's of us to reach out and perhaps do the same in our neighborhoods. Thank-you for posting this and your pictures, just wonderful! The collaborative effort of all of you ladies is a true Christmas Story that warms my heart.
|
What a beautiful thing to do! They are so cheery and colorful...and warm, too , I bet! Bless you!
