The girls began arriving around 1:00 Saturday afternoon. They received the directions on how to make a no-sew fleece blankets and chose a place to sit to begin their work. Once they finished the blanket they moved to the back of the room where they could write a note to the baby who will receive their blanket. We had a bucket of handmade paper cards and markers.
Next they chose a stamp to stamp on the card. The stamps all say "homemade" in some way.
Once the card was finished they moved on to the table where they could choose the color ribbon they would like their blankets wrapped with
The blankets were rolled with the ribbon and before it was tied we attached their card and a rubber ducky wrapped in a cellophane bag to the blanket.
The Pile grows.
At the meeting before Saturday the girls all made their own posters to help decorate the cafeteria. The posters are so cute and they wrote such sweet things on them. I included those posters without names for the blog.
A few girls hard at work. I wold love to have shown you a picture when the cafeteria was bursting, but I do not have permission to show all the girls.
It was a perfect day!
And many, many babies will benefit. You can't beat that!
