Donations to the Angels

While donations continue to come in from the article on my hometown's KCCI-TV, cash and gift cards over and above the $1 per dress requested were received from Jenn Stockhill in memory of Brock, Adam and Samantha Gudenkauf, Jenae Stoterau, and Terri Simmons.  Jenn Stockhill is a repeat donator and her continued support is very much appreciated.

This amazing sewing machine, already named Alberta by her original owner, was donated for the Angels by Rae K Arthur.  I used her all day yesterday and she loves stitching on the AngelGowns.  thank you Rae!  

  

Note:  Rae just became engaged and already has plans to donate her wedding dress to the Angelbabies.  Congratulations Rae and thank you!

On a recent road trip, I took a crocheted blanket that was already started, some yarn, and size 13 knitting needles with me.

During the trip, I finished the crocheted blanket and seven knitted blankets for the Angels.

Because the knitted blankets are a little thicker due to the large needle I used, but I am very short of blankets and needed to finish some quickly.

I like the thinner blankets because the thicker blankets, of course, take more room in the shipping box and I have to either send fewer blankets or send fewer AngelGowns.

However, using the larger needles allowed me to finish several badly needed blankets in the few days of the trip. 

I am dangerously close to running out of blankets.  If you are interested in assisting in providing AngelBlankets, please consult the "Generous Hands" tab and scroll down to AngelBlankets.
