Project Linus display at Furnacetown. In an effort to recruit more volunteers and to talk about our mission and our accomplishments, my husband and I had a few sample blankets and the raffle quilt in Furnacetown on September 19th and 20th during the 2009 Nassawango Quilt Show,

Quilt Raffle to benefit Project Linus


The Shorebirds Quilters, who meet monthly in Pocomoke at Robinanne's Quilting Service, have recently completed a quilt and started selling raffle tickets at the Quilt Show in Furnacetown last weekend ( Sept 19 & 20). Tickets are $1 each, 6 for $5. If you wish to purchase a ticket or contribute to Project Linus, Lower DelMarVa Chapter, contact me or Robin at the Quilt Shop.

The quilt drawing will be held in mid December at the guild's Christmas meeting.

A recent work assignment took me to Vancouver Washington. While I was there I had the pleasure of attending part of a sewing day with the Portland/ Vancouver Chapter of Project Linus. Chapter Coordinator, Jodene Cook has some great ideas! This picture shows one of their group projects which they call "Mix it Up". A color scheme was chosen and participating volunteers make squares to exchange. Pieces are cut in the following sizes: 4 1/2" square, 2 1/2 x 4 1/2" rectangle and 2 1/2 x 6 1/2" rectangle. Each volunteer makes a number of blocks the same, then they are exchanged to make a more interesting quilt.






Students at Salisbury University held a Make a Blanket Day today. I was invited to attend, but they handled everything! Todays event kicks off an effort to make and donate 200 fleece blankets by then end of October! Thank you for your efforts! Ashley Davidson speerheaded this effort. Ashley is a grad student who works in the volunteer office at the university.
