On June 21st, Oklee Quilting was the host to a Project Linus day. 10 women and kids came to help sew and tie quilts Project Linus.
They have made tops for 10 quilts that need to be tied, so we will be open June 18 from 9 to 3 if anyone wants to come help finish the quilts.
The quilts created here will be donated to local hospitals. Thrivent provided the funds for the materials.
Project Linus, is a non-profit organization that provides homemade blankets to children in need. Our blankets are lovingly made by adults and children from all walks of life and many different sources.
Our volunteers, known as “blanketeers,” provide new, handmade, washable blankets to be given as gifts to seriously ill and traumatized children, ages 0-18. It is Project Linus’ policy to accept blankets of all sizes, depending on local chapter needs. All blanket styles are welcome, including quilts, tied comforters, fleece blankets, crocheted or knitted afghans, and receiving blankets in child-friendly colors. Always remember that blankets must be homemade, washable, free of pins, and come from smoke-free environments due to allergy reasons.
Quilts are welcomed at Oklee Quilting all year long for Project Linus.
