A quick gift idea.

Here is a scarf I made today from some fabric I have on hand and am
using for a series of quilts for wounded Veterans. I power pieced the
cut strips into the needed combinations for a 9 patch pattern and then
assembled the whole thing using some Harriet Hargrave 100% wool
batting cutoffs that I have left over from some previously completed
quilts. I was able to finish this scarf in one day, so It is an idea
for those gift needs that suddenly can come up for people who live in
the colder parts of the country and would benefit from such a gift.
The wool batting makes it very warm and the cotton exterior shell
makes it comfortable to use next to your neck. It is easily washable
in the washing machine and you can put it in a low heat dryer and it
comes out as good as new. I made one for myself a couple of months
ago, and it has supplanted the Tartan Wool scarf I picked up in
Scotland a few years ago.
