Testimonials since the start of the year

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

After a long day of cutting fabric, knitting skeins, stuffing pillows, stitching seams and plumping dolls, it’s wonderful to find this kind of positive feedback and support. We couldn’t do it without our volunteers, but we are also indebted to the volunteers at hospitals who have helped us get fabricworks to patients in need. We saved a sampler so you could share the joy.

Receiving your email reminded me to take a few minutes to say “thank you”! Your pillows are fantastic and so greatly appreciated by our patients and staff. Thank you all so very much for your time and dedication! Kudos to all!!

Sincerely,
Cathy Clark

Members of the Common Thread Circle –

You outdid yourselves this time!

The holiday heart pillows are especially lovely, and our patients at Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital are thrilled with this festive touch.

Thank you so very much!

We wish you a blessed Christmas and a New year filled with love and peace.

Dear Common Thread Circle volunteers -

Wanted to let you know how very appreciated your pillows are to our patients. Every single person gives a big “sigh” when they get a pillow put on.

The colors and patterns are beautiful and they are a real treat — especially when they find out they can take them home!

For all a true blessing.

Memorial Hermann Northwest Hospital Volunteers

To the Volunteers of the Common Thread Circle,

Thanks for all the wonderful items you so generously donate to our new moms and babies!

Sincerely,
Maureen Brunetti, RN

We couldn’t do it without you.

Since our January newsletter, we have donated approximately 1,000 items to the following hospitals:

  • Memorial Hermann General and Breast Cancer Center
  • M. D. Anderson
  • Childrens’ Memorial Hermann
  • St. Luke’s, Northwest Memorial Hermann
  • Sugarland Memorial Hermann
  • Katy Memorial Hermann
  • Harris County Hospital System
  • Methodist Hospital
  • Spring Branch Medical Center
  • Memorial City Memorial Hermann

None of this would be possible without you. You come out each week to stuff. You volunteer to sew and knit and crochet. You cut out hearts and match fronts and backs of pillows. You buy the material. You help deliver the fabricworks to hospitals. You even donate money to keep our coffers full.

Bravo to each and every one of you.
