This time we'll be finishing up our partially assembled quilts to put into inventory for delivery in May. We need help layering, pinning, binding, and machine quilting.
Contact Judy King for more information!
Nationally, look at our fantastic volunteers' work:
Thanks to all who participated in any way!!!
On May 10, 2010, we handed out 72 blankets for foster kids ranging in age from 8 months to 16 years in Liberty County. When you see a little boy walk around for half the day wearing his blanket like a cape, you know it's all worth it!
Thanks to Colonial Quilts, Deborah Parker, Windsor Forest High School Honor Society, and the Young Women of the Latter Day Sants church! Y'all are awesome!! Amanda (local PL coordinator)
Approximately 20 PL Quilts were given the the children of the sugar refinery victims.
Bring your own Project Linus project (see below) or use one of our simple kits made up of donated fabric. Bring your machine and supplies needed, too.
Any kind of blanket will do - knitted, crocheted, a quilt with simple blocks. Bring in your orphan blocks and they'll be recycled to be given to a child in a stressful situation.
All items will be donated LOCALLY!
NEWS: Where are the blankets going? In 2009 we donated 259 quilts and afghans to the Greenbriar Children's Home and other places with children in need. Anything you can make will be greatly appreciated but there is a special need for infant blankets and teen blankets. Thansk you so much for all your hard work. We recently sent 15 blankets to Missouri where there was flooding and the daughter of a local fallen soldier (Sgt John Mele- daughter Clarissa) received a blanket hug from us. All blankets are distributed by our local Project Linus chapter.
