Dedicated members of the Christ Child Omaha auxiliary, Ses Enfants, along with skilled seamstresses from Fordyce, NE, the Omaha Quilters Guild, and many devoted volunteers, lovingly craft 2,200 hand-sewn blankets each year for the layettes. Some of these talented artisans have been sharing their gifts for over 50 years.
Board member Barb Greene leads this heartfelt initiative, dedicating countless hours to personally connecting with each blanket and its maker. Made from the softest flannel and stitched with love, every blanket is carefully placed into a layette alongside essential newborn items. These handcrafted blankets offer a warm embrace, symbolizing the love and care of Christ Child himself, wrapping each baby in comfort and warmth.
We are always looking for volunteers to help sew these cherished blankets. If you are interested in contributing,
