I wanted to post this letter that I recieved from Samaritan House for my first donation project for MAD Stitches in 2008. I made the upcycled gloves from sweaters and some of my dearest friends and family purchased them as Christmas gifts(A SPECIAL THANK YOU AGAIN TRACY AND LIZ) Anyway, Lyn Engel at Samaritan House wrote this note for the donation. I am getting ready to sit down and clear the dust for 2009 to see how much I will be able to donate to Samaritan House and STaRS. So I wanted to end out my blog posts for 2009 with SH's nice letter. Thank you to the people who bought the gloves last year--it is because of people like you, I can help to make these small donations by sewing and selling what I make. Here is the letter.
