 Blanket Alert!! The Supply is Low, Yet the Demand is High....... Our blanket inventory is at an all time low, yet hospitals and shelters are calling in their requests. We need your help. We have bolts of fabric ready to be crafted into quilts, but we do not have any batting. And we are out of money. Could you spare $5? Or a roll or batting? If you ask each coworker for one dollar, you would be able to donate lots of batting for children's quilts. Please????

The anxiously awaited quilt was designed and crafted by 19 children participating in the Summer Reading Program at the Gorham Public Library. Staff members, junior librarians, and local crafters donated supplies, time and energy in order to guide the children, ranging in ages 4 through 8, through the creative process of crafting the quilt.
Throughout the summer reading program, the children took a trip back in time to the pre-Civil War era, into the world of the Underground Railroad. Sandra Gagne, one of the original Blanketeers of our NH chapter, assisted the children in the crafting of a Log Cabin Quilt. The quilt was displayed in the library for more than two months, and then donated to our chapter.
As you can see from the photo below, little Tobias, lovingly known as "Tobo", is thrilled with his quilt.

In early October, the quilt was brought to the Pediatrics Unit of the Concord Hospital, where it would soon comfort a sick child.
