Local lady donates time and talent
By Debbie Harper
Liz Miller learned to knit 50 years ago, by reading a
book. Today she is using that talent to give to others.
Miller makes afghans and baby blankets she donates
to Pioneer Memorial Hospital and Good Shepherd Medical
Center and hospice. A friend even delivers some of the afghans
to a Portland nursing home.
Taking about two days per afghan, she has already
made 30 for donation. She uses leftover skeins of yam she
buys at garage sales or is given by fellow knitters.
If people have yam they would like to donate, they
can leave it at the Neighborhood Center in Heppner.
