Make a Blanket Day Workshop Oct. 16
     The Make a Blanket Day (MABD) workshop will be Saturday, Oct. 16 at the Sardinia Church of Christ, 7130 Bachman Drive, Sardinia, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
   Project Linus is a volunteer organization which contributes new handmade blankets to provide comfort and security to seriously ill and traumatized children.  
   The May workshop turned out a total of 114 blankets. In the last three months, a total of 180 blankets have been delivered to Adams County and Highland District Hospitals, Mercy ER of Mt. Orab, the Georgetown Police Department, the Fayetteville  Fire Department and the Fayetteville Police Department.
   Requirements for blankets are simple. All blankets must be new, handmade, and washable. They may be crocheted, fringed fleece, knitted, sewn, tied, or quilted. The website, www.projectlinus.org offers free patterns and links to other sites supporting Project Linus.
   Please bring a sack lunch and drink as well as supplies for the type of blanket you will be making such as yarn, knitting needles, crochet hooks, sewing machine, or whatever it is you use. Minimal supplies will be offered such as yarn and fabric for afghans and quilts. (No baby-sitting will be provided.)  
   Donations of blankets you may already have finished are accepted. Project Linus would love to be the recipient of any new, child-friendly pieces of flannel, cotton, yarns or any batting you may have lying around.
   If you would be interested in making a blanket to comfort a child, please contact Chapter Coordinator Elaine McCormick at projectlinusoh@gmail.com or Carol Chambers Assistant at 937-927-5742 (email at craftylady4873@att.net) for more information.
