Fabric Shopping

I was finally able to find a time to go and look for some fabric for our project. We have been overwhelmed at the donations and help we have received from both people we know and some that we don't. We have figured that with the money we have received, we will be able to make over 300 blanket sets! We are so excited to get going so that we can go and deliver these to the hospital.

My mom and Chace's mom both came with me to look for fabric. We had been waiting until there was a sale, and we also received a coupon. We want to be able to get as much fabric as we can. We were able to get a cute print ordered for boy and girl baby blankets. And we also bought some gender neutral fabric as well.

When Chace spoke with IMC about how many blankets they could use, he also asked which prints and fabrics were the most popular. She said that the softer, less busy patterns were always chosen because they help to heal. I had never thought of that before. We were able to find some simple and soft patterns and I can't wait to see how they turn out!

Chace found a warehouse where we ordered the fleece fabric for the big blankets. He found a great deal, and we now have over 450 POUNDS of fleece being delivered to our house next week.
