Now that you have done this pattern, was it easy? If you have any problems with my patterns, please let me know. Remember if you find a bodice you like, you can make any pattern on it. I have. It is fun to see how the patterns look.
A Thank You card arrived in today's mail from our local NICU. They were quite happy with the donation of blankets and the few hats I dropped off. They said the families loved the blankets. Boy, did that make me feel good! I'm glad I took on this project as we will be helping lots of babies and their families!....
Have a good one.........
