Susie Mullenger, Daughter MIchelle and Jamie Lee Curtis Cozy Up Under a Pile of "Don't Freak it's Faux!" Throws By Macc Designs.

About Macc Designs Founder Susie Mullenger:

It started out as a hobby – Susie making cozy throws for her family. Then she got the horrible news: a dear friend’s niece, sweet young 17 year old *Carrie, just blossoming into adulthood, was diagnosed with Leukemia.

Susie had an idea. Maybe Carrie would like a cozy throw, and maybe she could give a couple throws to some other kids in the hospital ward.

“This Saturday, I will go to the hospital, visit Carrie, and donate some throws,” Susie decided. Although Susie always does what she says she’s going to do, for some strange reason she didn’t feel like going on Saturday and postponed her visit.

“Tomorrow,” she told herself but when tomorrow came she again felt reluctant and again, uncharacteristically, delayed her visit.

“Tuesday for sure,” Susie thought feeling odd about her inconsistencies.

On Tuesday, Susie and daughter Michelle left for the hospital. They first stopped off and donated some throws to be given to other kids in the ward.  When they asked for Carrie’s room number, they were surprised to be directed, not to Carrie’s room, but to the Intensive Care Unit.  The two approached the ICU waiting room and immediately saw Carrie’s parents. Overwhelmed with grief, her parents broke into sobs and the group fell into a hug.

Stunned and grief stricken, Carrie’s parents had not yet contacted the rest of their family members and Susie immediately realized why she had arrived on that specific date and time.  She was to summon the other family members. Phone calls were made hurriedly and as Carrie’s family came together and comforted each other; Susie and Michelle quietly slipped out. As they walked back through the ward, she saw kids in their hospital beds, snuggled up under her faux fur throws. Susie knew providing needy children with comfort via her throws was to be her mission.  Early the next morning, Carrie passed away.

Susie says, “It wasn’t an accident that I ended up making these blankets. God is always trying to talk to us.  If we slow down to listen he can do incredible things and connect the lives of people in need.”
