A few weeks ago a gentleman contacted me after finding a notice online about my crochet group. He needs crocheters to make gowns and blankets for stillborn babies. These items are donated to a local hospital and provided to parents free of charge to dress up their little angel. I was touched as he told me about this ministry and that they became aware of the need after experiencing a stillbirth in their family. I could tell this was close to his heart, and I wanted to help. My ladies have responded enthusiastically and the gentleman has provided the yarn, we just provide the labor. The gown is only six inches long, and ties are needed in the back for ease of dressing the fragile little body. I have been very pleased to be able to help out in this way, that something I enjoy doing can have such a meaningful application. This was my first set I made.
