of cloth, an item of clothing, scarf, apron, former doll dress, the jeans you can't wear or give up, the child's dress that met with an unruly
juice box and can no longer be worn... anything that has some meaning to you. Anything we get will be cut apart and woven into the tapestry,so don't
send anything you want back, or want kept whole. Encourage your children to find something that they would like to include. Whatever you bring should
be clean. No items with text please.
