***CHALLENGE*** Calling All Blanketeers!!! I Challenge You....To help this be our best year yet. Please help us meet our goal of 2,000 blankets in 2009. We came close last year, but I'm confident with your help we can make it. Requests for blankets come in weekly, and I don't want to turn away any children in crisis. So please help....by sending in a Five Dollar Bill, or a roll of batting, some fabric or yarn.....and I will ensure your donation makes it to the hands of volunteers who will make blankets. Another suggestion: Do you have holiday parties at work, and always wonder what gift to bring for a coworker? Why not skip the gifts this year (do you really need another candle or box of candy?). Ask each coworker to donate a few dollars and then make a donation to Project Linus, which will provide blankets to children. Now that is true holiday spirit Thank you!!!! 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!
