It’s time again to start prepping, purple pals for the kids at Camp Brainstorm ! Last year, thanks to YOUR hard work, and generosity we were able to supply every single camper, volunteer and EFCST staff member with a handmade, purple ninja. At various epilepsy events, I still get parents coming up to me saying, how much Purple Stitch Project’s gift meant to their child. Warms my heart!

Well folks, I’d like to call you to crafty-action again. To have a plushie waiting on each camper’s bunk when they arrive, we’ll need lots of stitching help. Can we count on you? Here are the details:

WHAT: Knit, crochet or sew ANY plushie (animal, toy, object). You can use a pattern of your own, one that you’ve purchased, or any of our free patterns housed on Craftsy . The only stipulation is that the plushie have at least some purple in it (doesn’t matter which shade.)

NOTE: Since many of the campers will be returning , we ask that you NOT make the same ninjas as last year for this event. We will however, happily place any ninjas received in the bin to go out to non-camper kids with seizure disorders.

WHEN: Camp plushies due to Purple Stitch Project HQ, by no later than June 1, 2013 .

WHERE: Plushies should be mailed to:

Purple Stitch Project
9901 Brodie Ln.
Ste. 160, Box 268
Austin, TX 78748

Need inspiration? Look at just a few of the faces of last year’s PSP recipients. Like the turtle in the image on this page? Get the free pattern for it on Little Muggles.com !

As always, thank you for all that you do!

P.S. As the warmer weather comes upon us, we can’t use beanies, scarves and other garments for gifts (we’ll save ‘em for Fall) — so, we’re in dire need of more plushies — ninjas, animals, objects — to go out to hospitals and individuals ranging in age from 0-21. Pass it on!
