     October 2014
     Welcome to Fall, Blanketeers,

It’s that time of the year again to clean out the old and straighten up for the new. That is, those leftover pieces of material or yarn from a project that you completed during the summer. Project Linus would be thrilled if you would consider parting with those pieces and parts. We put all of them together and come up with bright and cheery blankets for many of the children in need in our Community. Materials can be dropped off at any of our regular drop off locations. Please contact me if you need a location near you.

I have been contacted twice this past month with request for additional needs of baby size blankets. So I am putting the word out for the sizes we need and a Please and Thank you to go along with this request.  Sizes can range from 30 x 36, 36 x 36, 40 x 40. These are approximate sizes. They can be knitted, crocheted, quilted or fleece tied.

As always we need every size blanket as we deliver to children from birth to age 18. We appreciate the efforts that all of our Blanketeers continually do for our organization on a monthly basis.
