So....what happens after you drop off your lovely handmade blankets? Well, our little volunteers...Owen and Izzy take the bags downstairs to our sewing room, where my Tante Mieke (Tante is Aunt in Dutch) sews on labels all day long!!! Seriously...she has sewn on over 400 labels...she is a pro. We check them over for pins and make sure they are ready to go and then bag them up according to size. Then they are ready to go to donation sites with a need. Without Mieke sewing until the sun sets these blankets would not find their new homes as fast as they have been. So I wanted to thank Mieke...who choose the wrong time to come and visit her niece in the US... for all she has done to help the Ann Arbor/Washtenaw County Chapter put blankets in the hands of kids in need!!!
