"Thank you so much for the bootie pattern!  I hate to admit it, but I've tried for years to make booties, and it wasn't 
until I came upon your pattern that I was able to.  I make them for the Cobb Pregnancy Center in Marietta, GA.  
The ladies are each given a pair at the time of their ultra-sound to remind them that it is a real baby they are carrying.
My prayer is that they will help the women choose life for their dear babies.  I have modified your pattern as
follows":
