Stitches of Hope children's caps and a thank you.











It’s a wintry day today in the Midwest. The school where I work has closed early. I’m praying all teachers and students get home safely.

This is the kind of weather that is conducive to working with soft yarn and creating beautiful crocheted, knitted and sewn garments for people in need – Of course, it helps to have a fun movie to watch at the same time. J I think mine will be a British murder mystery (again)

Here are some photos of our Stitches of Hope children’s caps. One has a tag that we attach to each cap so recipients know who we are. The other pic has matching scarves.
I’m pasting a thank-you from one of our medical facilities here:
“Dear Stitches of Hope: We received the adorable hats today from your organization…What perfect timing!! It is negative 12 degrees here in Columbus! (Ohio) The love that you put into your hats is obvious…Thank you so much for thinking of our children…

Sincerely,

June Palm

We don't go to the effort of creating free caps just to be recognized, but it is nice to know our caps are helpful.

I’ll put other notes from recipients here from time to time to tell you some of the places we distribute. This is all free of charge to the people who receive the caps. We pay for mailing and all materials and labor. Our goal is just to get them into the hands/onto the heads of people who need them. We rely on donations to help with the shipping costs.

Please let me know if you would like to contribute to the cost of mailing or if you work with a medical facility that could use our caps. We have sent caps to facilities in seven states on a regular basis, but thanks to the support of our terrific volunteers, we have a steady stock and so are looking to expand to help more people.

I thank God for wonderful giving people. They make life worth living. If you're reading this, you are one of these special people.
Take care,
