I have another box of goodies ready to go to CHOPS. I did hear from a Mother that her baby is at CHOPS and she loves all the little garments. It is very rewarding to hear this.
Please, if you repost my patterns, please give me credit for them as I am making my own patterns. Thank you.
Have a good one......Nan.

Chops!
CHOPS - Children's Hospital of Philly. I received a beautiful letter yesterday thanking me for all the items I donated in March. Hats, blankets, demise gowns and cuddle sacs. They named me "Operation Grandma Nancy." There is actually a use for the cuddle sacs. Some ladies questioned me about their use. So I guess go ahead and make them. They are using the fleece blankets to put next to the babies skin as they wrap them up in their big blankets. So if you had any doubts about donating things call them first, and then get busy. It really is rewarding!
