The Common Thread Circle

The Monday Common Thread Circle members had a busy day at their first meeting in August.  We now  have more heart pillows, stuffed animals, knitted and crocheted scarves and caps ready to deliver to patients in Houston area hospitals!

We had a great turn out at the first Monday meeting of Common Thread Circle.  We got lots of heart pillows and critters ready to deliver to area hospital patients!

Judy brings wonderful teddy bears she made to Common Thread to be distributed to young hospital patients in the Houston area this fall.

Our thanks to Charles Peirsol for welcoming Common Thread Circle to Town and Country Starbucks on Monday afternoons.

Lots of stuffing and sewing goes on at Town & Country Starbucks on Monday afternoons!

Brenda Kepner, manager of Volunteers & Community Services at Katy Memorial Hermann Hospital, was the guest speaker at the Common Thread Circle meeting at Memorial Drive United Methodist Church on Tuesday, January 21st.

Some of the Common Thread Circle members wore their “STUFF IT” aprons when they met at the Town & Country Starbucks on Monday, May 13, 2013. Common Thread Circle meets at Starbucks every Monday afternoon to stuff heart-shaped cough pillows for Houston area hospital patients. They also make stuffed animal “critters” for younger children who are patients in area children’s wards.

Three Little Bears were made this week by a member of the Common Thread Circle.  They look forward to being cuddled by three young patients in our area hospitals soon!
