Thanks to everyone who made Sharing Hearts for our February Challenge! 

We are getting our first set of Sharing Hearts
ready to deliver to Children's Hospital NICU. 

Fabric hearts are given to the parents of newborn infants admitted to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit. The fabric heart is worn against the mom’s or dad’s skin so that the fabric will absorb their scent. The heart is placed with the baby, in the isolette or crib, bonding parent and child with a heartfelt scent of love. 

This is an ongoing Busy Hands 4 All project!  The pattern is on our pattern page. Please keep sewing hearts and bringing them to sew days/nights. Other volunteer opportunities for this project include: donating flannel, prewashing/drying flannel, cutting hearts & printing poems.

Watch this awesome video of a father giving his baby his mother's dirty shirt to comfort him. It is the video that inspired us to find this project.
