By CAROL CHAMBERS
It's almost time to get your crochet hooks, knitting needles, scissors, sewing machine and whatever else you need and join others on Saturday, Nov. 5 at the Sardinia Church of Christ, 7130 Bachman Drive, Sardinia, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. for a day of blanket making for Project Linus.
Project Linus is a volunteer organization which contributes new handmade blankets to provide comfort and security to seriously ill and traumatized children.
Requirements for blankets are simple: all blankets must be new, handmade, and washable. They may be crocheted, fringed, knitted, sewn, tied, or quilted.
The Project Linus website, www.projectlinus.org, offers free patterns and links to other sites supporting Project Linus.
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 it is you use. Minimal supplies will be offered such as yarn and fabric for afghans and quilts. No baby-sitting will be provided.
They also will 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, fleece, cotton, yarns, quilt batting. Gift cards to either Hobby Lobby or JoAnn Fabrics, and monetary donations are greatly appreciated.
If you would be interested in making a blanket to comfort a child, please contact Chapter Coordinator Elaine McCormick at projectlinusoh@gmail.com or Carol Chambers at 937-927-5455 (email: craftylady4873@att.net) for more information.
