Today the Dale Area Leaders & Entrepreneurs were sponsoring a
"Blanket Day to Benefit Project Linus"
So I packed up my sewing scissors and headed down to the town hall to help make blankets.
Project Linus is a non-profit organization that provides new, handmade washable blankets, quilts,and afghans to children ages 0 - 18 who are seriously ill traumatized, or otherwise in need.
Volunteers known as "blanketeers" hand-make the blankets during organized community events.
Yes even men were there helping cut fabric, tying and doing whatever needed to be done.
It was a very fun filled and rewarding day!!!
When I left the group had made over 125 blankets!!!
Thanks to D.A.L.E.
(Dale Area Leaders & Entrepreneurs)
for sponsoring this wonderful event!!!
Until Next Time
Happiness is a healthy
mental attitude, a grateful spirit,
and a clear heart full of love.

Holy blankets!! Wow! I can't imagine that much fabric in one room! What a sweetie you are to give of yourself in that way. When I worked at social services, I used to see several of those blankets come through - and it always touched my heart - and I wondered about the people who gave of themselves to do it. Now I can say I know one....and it doesn't surprise me one bit it's you... ;o) Smiles & Blankets of Hugs ~ Robin
That's a splendid way to spend the day! Everyone look as busy as bees.

Robin,
I'm sure the kids that receive the blankets can feel all the love that goes into making them. What a wonderful community project to participate in.
Have a wonderful Sunday.

How awesome! I would love to do something like this, I wish our community offered something similar. It does look like fun and yes, I can see where it would be very rewarding... especially at the end of the day when you see the stack of 125 blankets! I wanna be a blanketeer!!! Lol
