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.

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.
I
wish you could see how much the different organizations appreciate all
of your wonderful donations and please know that everyone of them does
make a difference. xx
