Autism Blankets
We will be making at least 20 blankets for autistic children of Worcester County MD. Each blanket is made from 2 - 1 yard pieces of fabric, 1 print, 1 solid, and 2 1/2 yards of velcro. The "Lily's Hug" pattern was shared by another coordinator at this year's Annual conference. Channels are stitched into the blanket and stuffed with a rolled sheet in each, then sealed with velcro. Blankets for autistic children should weigh about 10 - 15% of their body weight. They are also called, "weighted blankets" and may soothe children with autistism and a few other children with sensory diagnoses.

We are recruiting new blanketeers from our communities. Are you crafty? Do you love kids? Can you make a blanket? We need your help to serve more DelMarVa children. Project Linus of Lower DelMarVa serves hospitals and other child related agencies in Accomac and Northhampton Counties VA, Somerset, Worcester & Wicomico Counties MD, and Sussex Co DE. We also deliver blankets to AI duPont in DE. We recruit our volunteers from the counties mentioned.
