project 3 recap
It is amazing to see what a collective group of individuals can do to make a difference. The time that was taken. Each stitch that was made for a child.
The Miracle Foundation came on Sunday and picked up all of the handmade goodies for the children in India. There were 2,614 handmade items donated from all over the world. From the United States, Canada, Switzerland, New Zealand, England, Scotland, The Netherlands, and Malaysia. Just to name a few. From sewing groups, knitting groups, preschool classes, children, and adults.
:: 542 blankets ::
:: 23 balls ::
:: 532 beanies & 391 booties ::
:: 330 pillowcases ::
:: 789 hankies ::
Thank you, thank you, thank you. From the children in India, thank you. I believe we collected so much stuff they are going to have to crate it to India. I will post pictures of the children with their gifts as soon as I receive them.
Project 4 is right around the corner. I’m hoping to announce it within the next week or two. Until then, take care!

I just found your site a few days ago, so I came too late for this project. What an amazing thing to see. I can’t wait to help with the next one. I put the blinkie on my blog to help spread the word.
What an awesome thing to do. I wish I would have thought of it!

Sigh, I misread the mail date. I thought it had to be mailed by the 25th, not received. So a local pregnancy shelter will receive lots of homemade blankets and a few dolls. Someday I will get things mailed off at the correct time.

Oh, how wonderful! It’s amazing to see everything stacked together like that.
I totally spaced on the deadline for this and I have five little knitted hats still sitting here in my knitting basket, along with one that is half done. I will hang on to them for the next project that requires knitted cotton hats…

My children were so excited to see that the balls they helped to make have arrived and are on their way for some fun knocking down tiles. I’m excited to see what the next project will be!

Wow, I found my blanket on your photos! It is really amazing how this is growing with every project. I look forward to starting project 4. Thank you for organising all this, it must be a ton of work but looking at the happy girls’ faces with their dolls it must be worth it.

I stumbled upon your blog today and I have to say how humbled I am by what you have been doing.All your volunteers have created such amazing beautiful handmade treasures for all the kids.
For years I used to help out with newborn kids in need,I had to give up due to health issues of my little boy!I do hope I can help out though I am not half as talented as the other wonderful crafters out there,I will try.
Keep up the wonderful work and good luck.
