I finally finished this purple and white bereavement gown. I think I like it best of all so far. The bottom purple "ruffle" is back loop only to make it look like a ruffle. I wonder if I'm a little tight on my crochet. It's that or either the yarn that I'm using. I have some 3 ply Caron Baby Sport ordered.
I would like to extend a public thank you to Anne for the beautiful gown she donated to the Emmazing Grace Foundation. Mom received it last week and I can really tell that she's enjoying seeing all the items. She calls me with the most excitement in her voice and is just amazed at the kindness and generosity of so many of you out there.
Mom is mailing the current donation tomorrow to the Huntsville Hospital. It includes:
3 gowns, 2 gown set, 6 sacks, 2 pouches, 17 caps, 2 booties, 12 blankets, 1 bunting and 3 wraps. I won't have a picture until Mom can take one, have the film developed, sister scan it and then email it to me. :-)

I think next up for me is to try Aunt B's Angel Wrap.
