Tiny Stitches Newsletter- October 2006

Happy ghosting and goblin-ing! It is time to change from summer to winter layettes. We will not use any more diaper shirts or onesies until next spring. Fleece blankets and sleep sacks will take their place.

We have more flannel in the warehouse to make receiving blankets. Remember to use the strips taken off one side to make lap pads and burp cloths.

Each time you take fabric to make gowns, sleepers or lap fronts please take some of the solid colors (the Garan fabric) to blend in with the prints. Suggestion- cut the bodies from solds and cut the sleeves and binding from prints. This will make really warm garments for the winter.

The OHCO warehouse sale is Oct.2- 7. Ida and Cathy will be going early Monday in hopes of finding some juvenile print knits.

Thanks to everyone who came to the warehouse today to pre-pack everything.

RESERVE THE FIRST Saturday in December (the 2^nd) to participate in and attend the Christmas Coffee at Bunten Road Park Activities Building. We are looking for a volunteer to coordinate this affair- contact Gloria.
