Save your batting scraps for Nora Brant
From Nora Brant - The group that uses the batting
scraps is Faith, Hope, and Charity Stitches, Inc. They
provide all kinds of things to NE Ohio area hospitals for
families with children with needs. We make quilts, burial
outfits and clothing, bereavement wrappings for early
losses among other things. The batting scraps are used
for stuffing "snakes" for positioning around newborns and
preemies who are undergoing photo therapy for
bilirubinemia (jaundice due to liver immaturity). They take
a six inch width of fabric and sew down the length. This
is stuffed with the batting and the ends are sewn shut.
Because these babies are stripped down to just their
diaper for the light therapy they startle easily and the
snake tucks around them and gives them a swaddled
comfort. The lady that coordinates all this acts like
Christmas morning when I take these scraps to her. She
just recently got some women at a nursing home to help
with the stuffing and they are all excited to have a
purpose so keep the scraps coming. Before they were
buying stuffing so this represents a significant savings to
them and makes good use of what would just be thrown
out anyway.
