Project Linus
Bring in a Knitted, Crocheted, or Quilted blanket to our Quilt Cottage. These blankets will be donated once a month to a local charity.
In the late Charles Schulz's comic strip Peanuts, a character named Linus had a security blanket that he used in escapist fashion to protect and comfort himself when life got tough. In the real world, Project Linus, a national volunteer organization named after the character, makes blankets for children in crisis who need similar comforting from the harsh realities of life. Established in 1996, Project Linus now has chapters in all 50 states (a total of 347 chapters) and has donated more than 1,169,000 homemade security blankets to date for children of all ages in hospitals, temporary housing, and shelters.
