Interested in making a difference in the life of a child?
My Granddaughter just got out of the hospital and received a blanket from Project Linus.
If you have time and would like to bring a smile to the face of a little one.

3. My daughter's girl scout troop worked on this
they collected scrap fabric and donated fabric from stores, then made blankets from them to give to this project.

5. I love them.
We have a very active group in the next town over. I have a couple I'm working on finishing up before the next blanket day.

Great people. They came up with over six thousand blankets for the Katrina kids in Red Cross shelters. They did it in just a couple of weeks, too.

6. I love this idea!

My youngest is off to college this fall and I was wondering how to fill up some of my time. Well this will fit the bill.

:hug:

How is your grand-daughter?
