Stuffed Love

Sarah Dynia shares, “In November 2010, when I was in 8th grade, I decided that I wanted to do a project that would benefit others. My plan was to create stuffed hand-stitched pillows and give them to those who are in need of comfort. I would use my skills and the help of volunteers to create these pillows and in turn donate them to others. We create Stuffed Love Heart Pillows for patients who have a Congenital Heart Disease. I take pride in the fact that I never use a sewing machine because I believe that each pillow deserves the proper personal attention that hand stitching gives them. After each pillow is stitched, I stuff them with Fairfield Poly-Fil, and our goal is to make 1500 Stuffed Love Pillows per year.”
