Lead Summary

-
Project Linus is a volunteer organization which contributes new handmade blankets to provide comfort and security to seriously ill and traumatized children. These blankets will be distributed to hospitals in Adams, Brown, and Highland counties when requested.
Requirements for blankets are simple: all blankets must be new, handmade, and washable. They may be crocheted, fringed, knitted, sewn, tied, or quilted. The website, www.projectlinus.org, offers free patterns and links to other sites supporting Project Linus.
Come join us on Saturday, April 16 at the Sardinia Church of Christ, 7130 Bachman Drive, Sardinia from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. for a day of blanket-making.
Please bring a sack lunch and drink as well as supplies for the type of blanket you will be making, such as yarn, knitting needles, crochet hooks, sewing machine, or whatever you use.
Minimal supplies will be offered such as yarn and fabric for afghans and quilts. No baby-sitting will be provided.
We will also be accepting donations of blankets you may already have finished or if you are cleaning out your stash, we would love to be the recipient of any new, kid-friendly pieces of flannel, cotton, yarns, quilt batting. Gift cards to either Hobby Lobby or JoAnn Fabrics, and monetary donations are greatly appreciated.
For more information, contact chapter Coordinator Elaine McCormick at projectlinusoh@gmail.com or Carolyn Chambers, assistant, at 937-927-5742 (email at craftylady4873@att.net).
