We’re on a roll, and it’s all thanks to your hard work and friendship.
Over three dozen brave volunteers met over the Christmas vacation. We had some good food, lots of fiberfil, and produced a mountain of pillows.
We donated fabricworks at high volume through November and December. This continues our rate of about 1,000 items a month. The Common Thread Circle is on a wonderful path to success for Houston area patients and hospitals. Each fabricwork we produce means another patient gets unexpected comfort.
Special thanks go to the following indispensable people:
- All members of the circle and friends who faithfully and cheerfully show up and help sew, stuff, knit, crochet and cut.
- Charles Piersol, manager of Town and Country Starbucks, and the Starbucks Corporation for its continuing support of our group.
- Garrett and Dory Graham for delivering pillows to hospitals all over Houston.
- Marilyn McRill and Beverly Davidson for going beyond the call of duty and the limits of human endurance.
