Project Linus has been chosen as the 1st quarter recipient of some Farmgirl love. Anyone want to jump in and help out? Here's their mission:
First, it is our mission 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, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer “blanketeers.”
Second, it is our mission to provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of children.
Here's what they need:
Become a “Blanketeer”
Our volunteers, known as “blanketeers,” provide new, handmade, washable blankets to be given as gifts to seriously ill and traumatized children, ages 0-18. It is Project Linus’ policy to accept blankets of all sizes, depending on local chapter needs. All blanket styles are welcome, including quilts, tied comforters, fleece blankets, crocheted or knitted afghans, and receiving blankets in child-friendly colors. Always remember that blankets must be homemade, washable, free of pins, and come from smoke-free environments due to allergy reasons.
You may donate the blankets locally or send them to me to be photographed as a group and delivered.
Please reply to the post of same title in the Farmgirl Chapter Chatter section if you plan to help us out!

In April, my local fabric store is having a Blanket Bee for Project Linus. I'm inviting my farmgirl chapter to join me there for a day of helping (and fun too).
