A few years ago, sweet Nicholas was stillborn -- straight into the arms of Jesus, when my son and his wife were in Italy. As grandparents, we never got to be involved in the pregnancy or meet little Nicholas, until his very sad funeral back home in California.
Our whole family was devastated by this long-awaited child's passing. I started the Nicholas Project as a way of keeping his memory alive, while also finding ways to help others. Our efforts have grown and now we sew, knit, crochet items for multiple charitable causes.
We hold workshops twice a month: once to make items for preemies and stillborn babies, and the other time to make items for other special causes. Right now we're finishing up a huge undertaking -- making 125 (it was 150 until we got a better count) lap quilts for the local nursing home/rehab center. Several of our online Martha Pullen friends have sent some quilts, quilt tops, squares, fabric and even money to help purchase supplies.
Thank you all for prayer support and practical contributions!
