"Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." Matthew 25:40
We are a non-profit, non-denominational ministry dedicated to the production and distribution of clothing and care items to the premature babies - living and deceased - serviced by local San Antonio hospitals and care centers. Our mission is to show the love of Christ to families at a time when their personal pain is hard to endure, letting them know that God is faithful. We pray that this ministry will have an impact far beyond our expectations.
There are three items that we need the most:
Flannel or cotton blankets for swaddling the babies (20 inch squares with rounded corners).
Isolette covers 36″ x 42″ quilts which keep the cold and light out and the heat in. These aid the baby’s neurological development. The nurses and parents really enjoy the bright colors.
Solid-color booties

Thank you also for the people who came to do the Christmas packing. We packed over 2,000 items, took the tree down and put it away, and had good fellowship. Joe and I appreciate you.
For years, we have received beautiful large afghans. They were too large and too heavy for the premature babies so we prayed and felt led to give them to a chaplain who took them to the Wounded Warriors. When the chaplain could no longer deliver for us, we started to deliver them ourselves to the Warriors and Family Support Center (WFSC). It is located at BAMC (or SAMMC). The building was built with donated funds and is so very welcoming.

I don’t think I can begin to put into words how wonderful and meaningful your “Threads of Love” ministry is! There are many reasons (diagnoses) why our much anticipated babies don’t make it.
Read MoreIn 2007, Threads of Love produced a cookbook. Barbara Roitsch lovingly typed it, and handled shipping it to the printer and the business end of it. It has sold well, not for profit, but for fun. Each month we will feature one recipe. Threads of Love members not only sew, crochet, knit, and quilt, but they are good cooks, too.

The building (Sarah’s Workshop) has enabled us to organize everything under one roof and be aware of needs before they arise. This leads to better organization. Our Tuesday and/or Thursday volunteers have increased from 50 to 75 regular attendees.

We suffered a great loss this year. Helen Elizabeth Borosh was invited to Threads of Love over three years ago by her neighbor, Darlene Kurtz. Thank you, Darlene! Helen was born in Detroit, Michigan, on January 28, 1912. Helen was a very special person and lived to be 99 3/4 years old. This January she would have been 100 years old! Sadly, she died on September 26, 2011, and is missed by everyone.
