Crocheting TIPS
I am fixing my patterns and adding new pictures!  Both bootie patterns are finished.  I am sorry for the
mistakes that were there . . . I couldn't believe my eyes as I was reworking them.  The patterns are now
available printable from the web page and as pdf files.

Thank you for your patience.

Sewing Links
FABRIC.com  (online fabric store with great deals).  This link will take you
directly to the quilting fabrics...they also have denim, upholstery, fleece, and
fashion fabrics of all kinds.  Sign up for their mailing list...they have frequent
sales!
Charity Links
Wonderful charities that I am familiar with who need your
handmade items (sewn, crocheted or knitted).
Gifts For The Unborn  (send an anti-abortion/encouragement message
to a woman in a crisis pregnancy by providing booties and other baby things to
make her baby a reality)
Threads of Love  (provides clothing, blankets and other items for
preemies, sick babies, and infant loss . . . Christian-based, wonderful prayers
and patterns)
Bundles of Love (a wonderful charity based in MN . . . patterns too)
Newborns In Need  (another wonderful non-profit organization that I
contribute handmade things to.  Newborns In Need accepts donations of
handmade crocheted, knitted, sewn, and quilted items (blankets, afghans,
quilts, clothing, etc.) to give to premature, ill or needy babies.  If you are not
able to make things, they also accept donations of baby necessities
(diapers, etc.), fabric, yarn, thread, and money to purchase needed materials.
 You would not believe what the volunteers can accomplish!

Above is the link to the national headquarters, please visit and consider
donating, it's the most rewarding experience to know you're helping some of
God's littlest children.

Thankfully, I can crochet so my premature baby had hats, booties, and
blankets small enough to fit her.  Many babies are left with very little or
nothing to keep them warm, especially if they are premature and too small to
fit into newborn or store-preemie clothing (believe me, it takes a while before
they even fit into what the stores call "preemie").  If you can help, please do.)
Please check the website for a chapter near you!
Care Wear Volunteers  (Care Wear Volunteers is a nonprofit charitable
organization that  encourages  people to knit, crochet and sew apparel,
blankets/quilts, and toys for  hospitalized children.)
