Greyson's Gift


I saw this post on a blog that I check out all of the time. I am going to do my best to help and I hope that anyone that reads this and can help, will help to comfort a family on what I would think to be one of the hardest days of being a parent.



Posted by Meryntha on "Greyson's Gift" website:


I am looking for your help. Hospitals all across the country are in need of small, very small, baby blankets. In cases of fetal demise, babies are so tiny, even the smallest nursery blanket is much too big to wrap around their tiny bodies. I know how parents feel when they are presented with their tiny baby, for the first and last time. Having to deal with a large blanket that doesn't fit, is a distraction. And, unnecessary.



If you can sew or crotchet/knit, would you please help me to supply blankets for these mothers?what they need:12" x 12" and 24" x 24" flannel receiving blankets, in small pink, baby blue, white, and yellow prints. Use your best judgement, we don't want the prints of the blankets to detract from very small babies.The blankets also need to be double layered.For those who have already jumped in to help and have blankets other than the specifics above, DON'T WORRY! We can still use your blankets.Again, HERE is Greyson's Website link.



So whether you sew, knit or crotchet, you can make something very special for a greiving family.



Please send your blankets to:
