I really enjoy doing this and carrying the projects with me wherever I go helps pass the time spent riding buses or waiting in dr's offices...also starts up many pleasant conversations, so you see I get more than I give!

Part of that inspiration was the faith she had through her cancer treatment, all the way up until she passed. I tattooed her favorite Bible verse on my arm, just to carry her story and her love with me. Now that I've finally learned to crochet- a craft she loved so much! - my boyfriend and I are in the process of starting a line of crochet items meant to help spread the word for Equal Cancer Awareness. We see certain ribbon colors every day - but there are so many that don't get public attention, or as much research funding as they really need. Every single cancer and ailment deserves research. We're hoping our line of products : Threads of Hope, can help. Rachel, your designs, and that of your crochet friends, have been a true inspiration to us. Thank you so much!

I helped start 2 k/c groups ( knit/crochet) at our Church about 3 or 4 years ago. The morning group is everyother Monday morning at one of our knitters home, and the other is everyother Thursday eveining at the Church. We all look forward to the fellowship and laughs. We make premie blankies and hats , newborn hats and blankies for babies born in our Church and for some local hospitals, Prayer shawls, scarves and hats for the homeless and we also scarves for the "Special Olympics" . We also make our own special things for family. Whatever we feel like doing and it is all done with prayer and love for who ever gets the item. We have about 5 or 6 at each group. I am so blessed that my Grandmother taught me many years ago. I love crocheting. I helped start 2 k/c groups ( knit/crochet) at our Church about 3 or 4 years ago.

We make blankies for terminally ill or traumitized kids. I usually drop off 12 blankies every 3 months and they are great. The woman in charge of our group is very happy to see the different patterns and colours that they come in. It doesnt matter if they are crocheted ( me), quilited, knitted or whatever, the group is happy to pass them to a smiling kid :) I am a proud “blanket-teer” for Project Linus.

Our church holds a "shower" and fills diaper bags or tubs and donates the filled items as Mother Day gifts for new moms. They were a God send for me, and I am so glad I can do something in return. My personal goal is to make one a month so that I may give 12 next year. Gotta love the clearance bins!
