Thanks to all of you, they will soon have over 200 bibs, hats, socks, mittens, and booties to distribute, so that newborn babies can go home in warm clothing.

 

 

 

If you have outstanding projects from the last few months, please send them to Ina at her studio this week, so that they can be included.
