Hello Blanketeers,
I would like to thank all of
our Quilt Shoppe’s, Stores 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 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.
We are still in 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.
After contacting Our Lady of Peace School, they will be coloring our Kids Helping Kids muslin squares during Art class in the coming weeks. This is very exciting as we were completely out of the colored muslin squares. We look forward to getting the completed squares back and turning them into coloring quilts for kids.
