I received this email from them;
Michele,
I was unable to meet the ladies but Brandy Garris received the Christmas blankets, snugglies, and hats. They were ADORABLE and I know it will make everyone of our parent's Christmas Day when they walk in and see their baby laying on the red and white polka dot blankets!!! Thank you so much for all you do for our patients and families. We feel truly blessed to have the "Seatrail Grandmas" as a part of our team!
Thanks again,

On both Hospitals, The nurses were really happy to receive the holiday hats and blankets we made for the babies. They plan to dress up the babies on Christmas and take pictures for the parents.
Thanks so much to everyone who quickly made the hats and blankets so we could deliver them.

Preemie Easter Project 

Our next project will be "Easter Bunny Hats" for preemies and the hat pattern is on our blog.
(Click on Patterns to find it).
All hats will be white and we will use pink and blue ribbons to tie the ears.
We will also cut and sew "Little Lambs" flannel gowns to go with the hats."
Thank you for your help!
