Next monthly get-together...

Our next meeting will be on January 21, 2012. Even if you don't want to attend meetings, you can donate blankies! Check out our list of places you can drop off blankets around town.

We currently most need infant and teen-sized blankets. One layer fleece blankets of 1½ to 2 yards of fleece finished at the edges are quick & easy for teens!

Free Patterns

Here are a few websites that have patterns. Try a few out and share your works of art with children in crisis. The possibilities are endless. If you have a favorite site and care to share the riches, send an email to our webmaster, Jan Everett and she'll share it here. We put patterns in our monthly newsletters too, so if you'd like to be on our mailing list, email Jan for that too. Follow the link on the left-hand side of this page to view pdf copies of our past newsletters.

Fleece Blanket Ideas

The best website we've found is a Project Linus chapter in Idaho's compendium of ideas for finishing off fleece blankets. (http://www.linusidaho.org/finishafleeceblanket.htm)

Crochet

Knitting

If you're into quick-and-easy, knitting or crocheting squares and joining them makes wonderful blankies. There are thousands of patterns for squares on the web too. One terrific site is Dishcloth Boutique. They have both knitting and crochet patterns. Prepare to become addicted!

More coming soon!

(P.S. Please remember, Project Linus needs machine-washable and -dryable fibers for our childrens' blankets.)
