Most of you know that my friend Jenny and I started a Piece Maker group at our church 2 years ago. We started out just making blankets for babies. Those were a huge hit at our local hospitals. Then we added adult blankets and donate those to Women's shelters, nursing homes, and a cancer center. One lady makes bears for the children in the women's shelter. Another lady makes pillows for them and also for surgery patients who need a tummy pillow. Now we have added hats to our list. These are donated to the cancer center for chemo patients. Hancock Fabric has a free pattern and these are what we make. I brought 4 home from our meeting last night and I hope to machine embroidery something on the brim. I am starting with a simple flower to see how it looks. We are making an assortment of colors. I plan to put a pink ribbon on the pink hats. I need to surf around and find a free online pattern for the ribbon. I haven't looked around for embroidery patterns for quite awhile. I have just been using the patterns that are already on my machine. I have the Ultimate Box and program to do all this but, haven't hooked it up to my latest computer. I need a refresher course to get this all up and running. I hope to do that this weekend. Wish me luck!!
If you have a loved one that needs a hat let me know. I hope and pray that you don't! There are so many of us affected by this horrible disease. This is just one small thing that our group can do.
