The local chapter of Project Linus will host a blanket-making event for National Make A Blanket Day on Saturday, Feb. 18 at the Sardinia Church of Christ, 7130 Bachman Drive, Sardinia, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The mission of Project Linus is to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, homemade, washable blankets and afghans, lovingly crafted by volunteer blanketeers. Quilts and blankets for children in need will be assembled, and we would like to invite the community to attend.
Please bring your 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 to make your blanket. 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 or any batting you may have lying around.
The Fayette County Chapter of Project Linus services Adams, Brown, Fayette and Highland counties.
If you would be interested in making a blanket to comfort a child or would like to offer a donation, please contact Carol Chambers, Chapter Coordinator Assistant, at 937-927-5455 (email at craftylady4873@att.net) for more information.
