I make blankies for our local children’s hospital PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit). I have been fortunate in finding an organization which is in a start up phase, Snug as a Bug Blankies (Elizabethtown, KY), and we share our passion for creating blankets and quilts for children in the hospitals. I am trying to get others involved, in any capacity, from church members, to Facebook friends and family; whether it be donations of time, talent or resources.
I love this idea to make dolls for them as well, I don’t know how thin I can stretch myself but God keeps putting these opportunities and interests in my path! God bless each and every one of you that gives, in any capacity

Thanks for this very helpful post! During Christmas vacation my Pocatello Sewing School hosted a free workshop for kids where we made “critter pillows,”, animal-shaped pillows with animal faces appliqued on, to give to CASA, the organization that works with children in the foster care system.The kids had fun making the pillows, and I’m sure the foster kids enjoyed getting something special made by another kid. You’ve got suggestions here that will make my next Critters for Kids day easier. Many thanks!

Thank you, Angel, for this article. I will be looking for something I can make and donate here in OK.

I love your blog. Keep up the good work.

Angel, when I was first married I worked at Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City for 2 years before our first son was born. I’m so happy to hear that the caring staff there is as it was when I left. Always with the patient and family comfort first in their minds! The little doll is very cute and appears that it would be easy enough to make. Was there a pattern .. or can I get one? I’m looking for this kind of project for the hospital in Duluth Minnesota. Thanks so much. Laura
