100 Quilts Donated by Sassy Scrubs Employee

Ruth Ann Chabot, of Canandaigua, who is an employee at Penn Yan’s Sassy Scrubs, received an award from the Company for her donation of over 100 hand-made baby quilts she has made since May. She has donated her quilts to the Blankets for Babies Project, which makes, collects and ships baby blankets and quilts, through Sassy Scrubs, to orphanages in China.

Before beginning her quilt making marathon, Ruth Ann had attempted only one other quilt, years ago, and was not fond of the experience. Using fabric scraps available through her work at Sassy Scrubs, a custom scrubs uniform manufacturer, and a significant fabric stash at home, she tried quilt making again and found she greatly enjoyed designing the quilts and seeing them come together. With so much experience since May, she has found she can now look at a photo of an intricate quilt and cut and sew it without a pattern.

She has begun photographing each quilt she donates, and constructing an album, so she can remember the prints and designs of each after they have been shipped to keep babies warm.

In appreciation of her dedication to the orphans of China, Sassy Scrubs awarded Ruth Ann with a plaque declaring her the “Quilting Queen” along with a gift certificate to Jo-Ann Fabrics.

Texting and Sleep Deprivation

So, are you yawning today and pounding the caffeine just to stay awake? Sassy Scrubs wants to know if sleep deprivation associated with excess texting is affecting you. I just read an article regarding the texting practices of teens and college students - specifically regarding their inability to "turn off" and go to sleep. It seems that texting a friend, or a group of friends, is so appealing to this group that they sacrifice their sleep so they can stay in the loop, and be connected. Sort of like the old water cooler - or nurses' desk - for sharing gossip and information. The fact that many use their cell phones as alarm clocks seems to compound the problem - the devices are turned on, and receiving messages, so the messages must be answered. Immediately.

Is this the only age group subject to these pressures? Have you ever pulled an all-nighter just texting your friends, even though you knew you'd pay for it the next day with exhaustion? Has this affected your ability to do your job to the best of your ability? Is this a problem in your own home and what practices have you put into place to manage cell phone use with your family members?
