"Helping those in need was all I wanted to do!  I created "Love's Many Cloths" on November 10th 2005."

  I was able to meet many other heartfelt crafters that also have the same dream.  Together we put smiles on the faces of many and hope in the hearts of those in despair.  We make homemade facecloths for shelters of the homeless, battered or displaced, and transitioned.  Our cloths are also loved by the elderly in hospices and our patients at a South Georgia hospital.  In the past 2+ years we have grown in many ways.   Dana

"Cuddles" for Pets by Love's Many Cloths  

For the pets-to-be in many animal shelters and rescue missions across the United States, we make special pet blankets.  These blankets are made in various sizes and textures.  When the animals leave the shelters, they have their own "comfort" to take with them to their new homes.

I was very honored to be able to meet Molly and Kaye! Seeing Molly with our blanket was a dream come true!
