My Guild recently started making and donating pillow cases to CHEO, the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa. One of our guild members is an OR nurse there, and she brought us the idea of making pillow cases.
When the hospital found out what our Guild was doing, they asked us if we would also make "teaching dolls" for them. These are simple plain fabric dolls that the doctors and nurses use to explain a medical procedure to a child, and then the child gets to decorate and dress and keep the doll with them during their stay in hospital.
