Project Linus blanket-making workshop Oct. 27

A Project Linus blanket-making workshop will be held 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27 at the Sardinia Church of Christ, 7130 Bachman Drive, Sardinia.

Project Linus is a volunteer organization which contributes new handmade blankets to provide comfort and security to seriously ill and traumatized children.

Requirements for blankets are simple: All blankets must be new, handmade, and washable. They may be crocheted, fringed, 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.)

Project Linus also will be accepting donations of blankets you may already have finished or if you are cleaning out your stash, we 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 call Carol Chambers (937) 927-5455 (email at craftylady4873@att.net) for more information.
