My Quilt For Kids photo and a question about Project Linus
Here's the link to the quilt I did for Quilt for Kids from the fabric
they sent me. I returned it last week along with 3 more. I do have a question about Project Linus, which seems to be the charity of choice in my area. There are several drop off points close to my home. I checked with the local chapter in Madison, WI (my home area) and they deliver at least 400 quilts a MONTH to the two area childrens hospitals in Madison, according to their website. So, my question is, do any of you sew for Project Linus? I did a Google search for threads on this group about it and only old ones showed up. The quidelines are very similar to Quilts for Kids, although they accept knitted and crocheted blankets as well. Do you have any opinions about Project Linus? Thank you, Donna http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...76819039nkFMgU |

My Quilt For Kids photo and a question about Project Linus
I love it! Those are great fabrics - some little one is going to be very
happy to receive it. My knowledge of Project Linus is limited, but I plan to get involved with our local group. It sounds as though your area has an active group with 400 quilts a month!

My Quilt For Kids photo and a question about Project Linus
We have 2 Project Linus groups that my guild feeds into. Both are very
active. I have donated a lot of crocheted blankies -- but no quilts. One of our groups meets monthly at one of the LQS to make blankies. There are a GREAT organization. Some groups feed to hospitals. Others to police/fire departments. There is clearly plenty of need -- so finding a place to give your quilt to a needy child isn't hard! -- Kate in MI http://community.webshots.com/user/K_Groves "dealer83" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Kate, for the kind words about Project Linus! We have chapters in
all 50 states - 378 chapters total to be exact! Besides quilts and afghans, we also accept polar fleece blankets.

My Quilt For Kids photo and a question about Project Linus
I stitch for Newborns in Need. Their needs are a little different from
Linus. They also receive bonnets, daygowns, and burial layettes as well as very gently used little garments. This is probably a good time of year to find nice fleece at a good price. For those who want to help but don't sew, fringing fleece is fast and easy. Linus has a wonderful site for doing fleece. Do note that fringe needs to be short; long fringe gets tangled in tiny fingers. http://www.linusidaho.org/finishafleeceblanket.htm Polly "Patti" I and our local group sew for Project Linus UK.
