Honoring Blanketeers
















Volunteer Blanketeers honored at Salem United Methodist Church October 18





Colorful Project Linus Blankets draped over pews, railings, window ledges and altar rail are a great testimony to the dedication, love and talent of many volunteers who quilt, sew, tie, crochet and knit for children. Each person in attendance will be asked to write a message of comfort and cheer to add to a blanket for a personal touch. In addition, many of the blankets in the front are very special. 12 blankets were made with extra special care for the annual themed challenge. This year the quilters are "competing" with cowboy/ cowgirl themes. So much thought went into these blankets with horses, famous cowboys, hats, boots and other wild west symbols. At a penny/ vote we are hoping to earn some needed money while finding the favorite!
A great big thank you to all who make blankets or donate funds to make the work possible.
