Are you a seamstress???
Aubrey's Foundation is looking for
people who can sew.
For our Holiday Party for the Heart
Center at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, we always try to come up with
a unique gift that we can give the hospital. With talking to the
various nurses that help us with inviting the patients to this Party,
we found out that they are in need of quilt type blankets that will fit
on top of the beds to brighten the rooms and also the spirits of the
children in the hospital.
If you would like to help us with this gift, please
let us know. You can go to any fabric store and buy pre-printed
quilt shapes where all you have to do is put binding on the edges to
finish the blankets. It's basically straight sewing that
hopefully will not take up too much of your time.
For more information and to volunteer for helping with
this project, please email Nancy@aubreyrose.org and we can fill you in
on the details of the size, etc.
