and could say, 'I used everything You gave to me,' -Erma Bombeck

Calling all sewers, quilters, knitters, and crochet-ers!
If you enjoy sewing, quilting or knitting/crocheting there is a new ministry starting for Mountain House that you should know about. The goal of Wonderfully Made is to gift each mom-to-be in the program with a handmade baby blanket. Ideally each blanket’s creator will pray a special Bible verse over the mom and baby throughout the entire construction process.
If you are interested in participating or have any questions, please email Elise Stafford at wonderfullymadenhcc@gmail.com.
Guidelines:
Blankets should be no smaller than 35” x 35”, and no larger than 60” x 60” (but do not need to be square). Gender neutral colored blankets are preferred. Fabrics and yarns should be machine-washable for easy care.Blankets should be washed and ready for use.
