The First to 5000 Dressed Hangers!

Written by Antonia Shubert

 It’s finally happened after 4 ½ years!

My name is Antonia Shubert and I live in Oyen Long Term Care. I asked the nurse if I could have something to do; she suggested the hangers. Well, I took her up on it. Dr. Muller encouraged me to keep going after I hit 500. It all happened on account of the people donating wool and hangers that they wanted done and they didn’t care what colors. Thank you to everyone who donated. I’ve reached 5000 woven hangers! Finally! And I’ve really enjoyed it. At first it was hard to quit, but now I don’t mind taking breaks. The hangers have travelled many places in Alberta and British Columbia. If you want to talk to me about the hangers, just give me a call.

I might do a few more hangers now as a past-time!
