Today I received a letter from Virginia State Senator, Jill Holtzman Vogel, of the 27th District. I want to share this with all the members, families, and hospitals we serve:
Dear Elizabeth:
I wanted to send you a note to commend you for all of efforts to help families that are in need. Also, I wanted to congratulate you on a wonderful article about you in the Northern Virginia Daily. I know that this is my second note to you, but you are a great inspiration and you are very deserving of the continued recognition!
HeartFelt Angels is a great project and I applaud all of the selfless acts you and others who support local families in need of infant clothing.
Congratulations again and please do not hesitate to contact me if I can ever be of help in any way.
Sincerely,
Jill H. Vogel
(Side notation) Congrats again!!

HeartFelt Angels September Meeting
The meeting for tomorrow, Sept. 8th at Winchester Medical Center from 7pm to 8:30pm, is being canceled.
My apologies - but I have poison ivy ALL over me and it has not dried up yet. So to be on the safe side for everyone, I decided to cancel the meeting.
Also, the Sweater Fest will continue to October 15th. This is for both online and for the ladies that attend the meetings at Winchester Medical Center. I had several people ask if I could extend it into October and this just worked out to the better!

Meeting Pictures and Info
We had a really nice meeting and received alot of beautiful items for the babies! We started out with 19 afghans and quilts for Christmas from Christmas in July. By the end of the meeting, we added 37 more blankets. We still need more newborn size Christmas afghans to meet the number needed for the 2 NICU's. Chris D. donated the drawing for the evening. It was a basket with a clown doll, made by a family member, homemade jelly, bread, candy and of course YARN! Barbara N. made a beautiful baby afghan from the yarn she won at the 10th Anniversary party. Barbara N. was the winner of the drawing for the August meeting.

Sweater-Fest 2009!!!
It's that time of year again! Time to think about warming up the babies with sweaters and hats this Fall.
So Sweater-Fest 2009 starts TODAY and runs until September 8th. We will be having 2 contests with prizes!
First: Person who makes the most sweaters!
and
Second: The most unique sweater for a boy and a girl! I will take pictures and post them and you will vote for your favorite sweater. The winner of the boy and girl sweater will receive a prize! PLEASE label the sweater you send for the contest, so I won't over look it!
Just a reminder: When making sweaters for the babies, please remember to make them for Newborns. Sweaters for Preemies must fit 4-5 pound babies. Anything smaller, and the nurses can not use them.
So get those hooks flying and may the best knitter or crocheter win!

HeartFelt Angels in the Newspaper!
Winchester Star HeartFelt Angels article
We celebrated our 10 year celebration this past Saturday! We had alot of great food, great music, and fun! I can't believe the photographer, from the newspaper, put that silly hat picture in the paper! He said "Let's do something silly!" So I said ok! hahaha Will post the pictures for all to see.
I just want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for the best 10 years. It has been a wonderful journey and I look forward to many more years! If it wasn't for all the talented ladies and gentlemen that crafted items for the babies over the years, we wouldn't have made it this far! We have touched many hearts through our knitting, crocheting, sewing, quilting, etc. The hospital staff truly appreciate all that we have done for them over the years.
Thank you again so much for helping HeartFelt Angels!
