My husband and I returned from the Project Linus National Conference held in Peoria IL for 4 very hot days in July! We came back energized for this mission, brought new ideas and new patterns for quilters. Project Linus is now 15 years old. Nationally, we have given 5 million hand made blankets to children. Our local chapter is 7 1/2 years old. We have given 5000 blankets on DelMarVa! This shows great dedication. Volunteers keep this momentum going. From the ladies who sew, quilt, knit & crochet, to the college students from SU who make hundreds of fleece blankets to the others who help in other ways, we get the job done. All blankets have a Project Linus label sewn on by 2 volunteers. All blankets have a hang tag. One volunteer writes thank you notes. Several volunteers drive hundreds of miles to deliver blankets. It takes money to keep this going also. Donations are always welcome.
Thanks to all who help in any way
