Pokey Pets would not be as nearly successful of a project if it weren't for the help from several volunteers. I taught a few women how to make Pokey Pets and several of them "wowed" me by the number they had created and the creative ways that they made them. Barb Passmore and Diane Passmore cleverly figured out a way to sew on cute fabric pieces on top of the pouches to make them more fun; Marie Woodman created her own stuffed bear to place inside of the pouch as the pokey Pet; another woman from Bridgewood sewed a lace white eyelet fabric around the outside edge of the pouch and it looked adorable! Other volunteers simply helped through donations. Catherine Passmore donated a large bag of small stuffed animals she had found on oriental Trader; Meredith Lemen donated several Teenie Beanie Babies; and Gail Lake donated a bag of stuffed animals she had found at the Salvation Army. Thank you, ladies, for helping out with Pokey Pets!
