Baptismal garment sewing is an apostolate for those who enjoy sewing. Baptismal bibs are cut out by volunteers (at their leisure), sewn together with a small cross stitched on the front. Approximately 20 bibs per month are needed for baptisms. Cut out bibs are picked up at the parish office and returned when completed. Sue Gammon 919-570-0070-Ext. 108

Threads of Love is an International Organization with several chapters in the South Eastern United States. Our local chapter was started about 12 years ago by Marge Hoffmann. The members are from various faiths and we come together to make preemie items for Wake Med. Anyone who would like to cut out patterns, sew, knit, crochet, quilt, make preemie gowns, blankets and huggables are welcome. Meetings are scheduled the second Wednesday of every month from 9:30 AM until 11:00 AM. Our location varies. We invite you to a gown cutting session. The fabric is provided; just bring a good pair of scissors. If you cannot attend a meeting but would like to work from home, give us a call. Charlotte Montillo, 919-556-9004
