I wanted to make sure you were all aware of a non-profit that I have worked with named Project Linus. Project Linus is a national non-profit whose mission is to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer “blanketeers.” Check out the Project Linus website here.
All styles of blankets are welcome, including quilts, tied comforters, fleece blankets, crocheted or knitted afghans, and receiving blankets in child-friendly colors as long as they are new and handmade. "Blanketeers" can be from all skill levels. This could be a great project for winter Sundays at home or even small groups in a circle. This can even be a neat group activity for children or other artistic types. Simply provide the same size muslin squares and fabric markers. Ask folks to draw on tehir squares and then all of the squares can be put together to make a security "quilt."
