Today's Deliveries- 52 Quilts Etc.

 

Today was delivery day to Eastern Palliative Care and Life's Little Treasures.

We delivered 20 quilts and 2 beautifully crocheted blankets to Eastern Palliative Care and the staff loved all the beautiful quilts that you've donated for their clients.

 

Life's Little Treasures provide information and support to families with premature and sick newborns by supplying 160 neonatal nurseries around Australia with vital supplies such as specialized clothing.

Today we delivered 32 quilts, 18 knitted blankets, 35 pairs of booties, 85 beanies, 20 knitted teddies, 50 knitted jackets, 2 pair of mittens and 79 snuggle hearts.

 

They were thrilled with all of your donations as they were almost out of many of their basic items again. Their biggest need is the knitted small teddy bears, large premmie or newborn sized jackets in 8 ply and the 8 ply knitted blankets. They also request that you don't use fluffy yarn. Acrylic yarn is fine as some babies are allergic to wool. The patterns are on their website and I'll repeat them here. They request that any items don't have lacy patterns as the tiny fingers and toes can get caught in the threads, but you can use your own patterns of similar sizes. The jackets are for 15 inch or 17 inch chest size.

 

Beanies: https://bit.ly/3u3KFV0

Booties: https://bit.ly/2YOofcu

Cardigans: https://bit.ly/2VIhWWX

 

We especially need large sizes in each item and ask that these patterns are followed as they have been specifically designed as safe for tiny fingers and toes.

I've also included the knitting patterns for the small teddy bears and baby blanket.
