Service Idea

Okay so I had this idea a while ago but didn't think much of it until I was watching tv this morning. I thought to myself "Self, there is probably so much more you could be doing than wasting your time watching tv." Then I remembered this idea I had had a while ago. What is something that is so badly needed with a new baby? Receiving blankets. I have learned that a fantastic receiving blanket is measured a yard in length and most cloth is typically measured 48 inches in width and my favorite blankets were always made of flannel. These blankets are crazy easy to make and I am truly not just saying this because I love to sew but because it really is incredibly easy. Cloth goes face to face, sew up three sides, flip face out and then sew up the fourth side. Easy, I know. So what if I could complete a project of making these sweet blankets for a baby who really needs it. Primary Childrens Hospital has a list of things that can be donated to their facility for families in need. If I could die saying that I helped make a difference in one person's life, I would consider my life a success. So enough talk, I would like to make several or more of these receiving blankets and donate them to this wonderful hospital. I also would love to enlist the help of the beautiful women in my life, whether you know how to sew or not. Something this simple is a great way to learn the basics of sewing while also easing a family in need. I have to call the hospital and inform them of my idea and then go around to local cloth stores and ask for their help. Typically with a donation a business will ask for a letter of proof that the things being donated will indeed be donated. So now here we go, receiving blankets made by women for the little patients of the hospital. I am dead serious about seeing this come about and if you want to help let me know.
