Michael, I have been there. My mom died of cancer and when she was so bad others gave use blankets, among other things. I appreciated the ones who let me know I wasn't alone.

Mikey,
Thanks for your personal involvement and support of charity fiber arts. Also thanks to your subscribers who do the same. As a cancer patient, I was gifted hats, a shawl, and lap quilt. Just before my mother died in the hospital during the pandemic, her nurse tucked her in with a donated blanket. Even though I could have made these things myself, it meant the world that someone else was thinking of us enough to create something beautiful.
