October 18, 2010

Congratulations to you! We have donated 22,924 fabricworks since June 1, 2008. Since June 1, 2010 we have given away over 1,000 items a month. This is an incredible achievement when you consider the amount of planning, cutting, stuffing, stitching, knitting, crocheting, packaging and delivering that is involved.

We do all this with joy because we know that the fabricworks we donate are useful and colorful and designed to lift the spirits of patients in Houston area hospitals. Bravo for a job well-done.

Since our last newsletter, we have donated to Methodist, Ben Taub, Katy Memorial Hermann, M.D. Anderson, Texas Children’s, Children’s Memorial Hermann, Southwest Memorial Hermann, Northwest Memorial Hermann, Shriners and St. Luke’s Hospitals.

Thank Charles

We are successful in part because of Starbucks’ support and we appreciate everything that Starbucks and manager Charles Peirsol are doing for us. Charles and his supportive staff always make us feel welcome, and every week we enjoy their wonderful pastries and coffee, as well as their pleasant and clean cafe. We cannot thank them enough. Make sure to say thank you to Charles when you see him.

Buy One, Give One

Spread the word! Those who want to donate to The Common Thread Circle have a new, fun option. If you donate $150 or more, you’ll get a handmade critter designed by our doll artist member, Gwynne Ross, and we will match your purchase by giving a critter to a patient in need. Contact us for more information.

Free Patterns

If you are unable to join us for meetings but wish to sew at home, we put several patterns on our website here (in PDF format). Thank you to Christel Dekker for creating these patterns.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.
