Wow! I'm so impressed with you and your willingness to do all of these hats. I can see a whole lot of happy kids in the future thanks to you and your mystery guy.

143 seems an odd amount. I think you should be prepared for more to arrive.
Great job on the Hat.
Love it when high profile sports players give their time to kids. Good on him.

Congrats to you for the work. It is always a good thing when the pro players give back to their communities.

My goodness Vicki, that will keep you busy. I have to ask - how long does each one take to do?

It only takes about 3 minutes to stitch, but about two times that to hoop it correctly......ugh!! My hands are so sore today from doing these yesterday, I got 70 done, so 1/2 way there.......

That's a fabulous stitchout and he'll be very pleased with all of them! I agree. You probably should do a few extra if you have extra hats. Extra kids may show up at the last minute, or a hat gets ruined, or maybe a handicapped kid may show up to watch and would need a cap too. Give your hands a rest between days that you work on them. It just makes one feel good to be a part of something like this.

Where do you purchase the caps from? I have been asked to stitch caps and turned down because of the labor involved. This is a labor of love. I love the simplicity of your design. Kay

Jiffy.com.........On the Bernina it was a pain, the Melco is much easier to hoop caps.....
