Hello Blanketeers,
I would like to thank all of
our Quilt Shoppe’s and Blanketeers for supporting National Make a Blanket Day.
Without all of you, we would not be able to deliver nearly 200 plus blankets to
our 3 local hospitals and countless agencies that service children in our area
on a monthly basis. “ It really does take a Village”… …..Our Blanketeers are a
true testament to that statement. Thank you, thank you.
** -Spring
“Sew In”- Saturday May 9th at – Hampton Inn Erie, 8050 Old
Oliver Rd 10:00-4:00
Odds and Ends: We are still in need of boys blankets, all sizes and kinds.
REMINDERS:
-
Due to hospital
equipment and little fingers, when knitting or crocheting an afghan please use
patterns or needle size with corresponding yarn so that the completed blanket isn’t
too loose. Sometimes it might only take going to one size needle smaller
to make all of the difference.
-Due to children's allergies and possible
respiratory issues, please refrain from the use of dryer sheets, fabric
softeners and scented bags when either laundering or storing blanket making
material.
