Time to Make The Blankets Those wonderful crisp nights are back, and it feels great to cozy up with a nice, warm blanket....if you are lucky enough to have one.....I've been delivering quilts, afghans and fleece blankets to families in need, and could sure use some help. Our volunteers are running low on supplies such as fabric, batting and yarn. If you are unable to make a blanket, would you be willing to purchase some supplies or a gift card? We would so appreciate your help. Thanks for your consideration. Maureen |

We like to have a variety of sizes on hand. For example, blankets could be as small as 36" X 36". The majority of Project Linus blankets are about 40" X 60", or what is called crib size. Blankets could be as large as 45"X 75" or twin size (64" x 75") for teens.
Our chapter is in need of larger size blankets right now, as we have a good stock of baby blankets on hand.
Single layer fleece blankets are great for summer. Double layer fleece are especially needed throughout the Fall & Winter months.
Whether they are made of fabric, yarn or fleece, all blankets need to be machine washable.
Please take special care to ensure that blankets are free of smoky smells or any chemicals which could jeopardize the health of the child.
Check blankets carefully for forgotton pins, and please do not use embellishments such as buttons that could come loose and be swallowed.
Here are a few patterns, projects and websites to get your creative juices flowing!
