One Yard Hugs: What a blessing is all we can say! All of the customers and volunteers have made a tremendous outpouring of love for this campaign. We have received 276 one yard hugs so far! We are asking our WONDERFUL customers to donate One Yard Hugs again this year for the preemie babies in the neonatal units of Houston area hospitals. All you have to do is buy a yard of flannel fabric and finish the raw edges all around, how easy is that. Our goal this year is to donate 300! Last year we donated 219. We will collect them through December 15th. A big Thank You to all who have contributed. A special thanks to the Tri County Quilt Guild for donating 89 hugs!! What a wonderful surprise and we are so grateful. SunFlower Quilts knows how important it is to give back to the community, there are so many people and organizations in need and we will continue to help in any way we can thanks to our customers and volunteers. This could not be done without you!!
