Project Linus

Project Linus could always use kid-friendly colored fabric in 100% cotton or flannel, nice craft thread , and nice quality yarn for our knitters/crocheters–no wool, please.

Project Linus is always in need of help with blankets.We can have individual groups such as YW, R.S., tie quilts for us (we provide the materials). We would love to have kids 5-18 years old draw on 8” muslin squares with fabric markers to make into quilts-they don’t even have to do any sewing. This could be done with a cub scout group, cheer squads or sports teams. , mid-week activity days for the young girls or YM or YW’s group.
