Jackie Elder explains, “I started this adventure when my 92 year old mother asked for a lap blanket. Once I started creating this for her, I realized my love for giving back and started to make blankets and pillows for everyone. Now that my mother is moving onto assisted living, I plan to make pillows and blankets for all of the residents. After this, I will expand my efforts and provide these hand made pillows to veterans homes, hospitals, and women’s shelters. I do this not only because I love the act of knitting, but giving back has become a huge part of my life. Since I have started I have made 6 neck pillows and 10 lap blankets.”
