September 2017
Hello Blanketeers,
Here is a lot of information about this week and I thank all of you ahead of time for all that you do to make it possible !!
Blankets, Blankets, Blankets
So many of you have been contacting me and telling me that you are making many wonderful blankets to help those that were affected by Hurricane Harvey. We have such a generous community. I have been in touch with Erie Pack and Ship, they have been a great supporter of NWPA Project Linus for many, many years and in order for us to have the blankets in Missouri by the end of September we need to ship them out on Monday September 25th. For us to label and hang tag all of the beautiful blankets, we will need to have them by this FridaySeptember 22 nd.
Missouri Star Quilt Company is the hub where all of the Project Linus Chapters are sending their blankets to. They will then ship the blankets to Texas.
If you were planning on making Blankets this coming weekend and have them to us on Monday the 25th, you could still do that as we mayhave a call for blankets for Hurricane Irma. It takes time to get things in place. Plus there is always a need for blankets.
When you drop off blankets for Hurricane Harvey please indicate that on your bag. Contact me by email so that I know where to go this week for blanket pick ups, I would greatly appreciate it. Time is going to become very short. Thank you to all of you that have been able to respond to our plea so quickly.
