And the days fly by -

After Make a Blanket Day way back in February, things got really busy. First there was the Colonial Quilt Lovers 2nd bi-annual quilt show at Knobbs Creek on the first weekend in April. Project Linus was there with our opportunity quilt and many of the items that were made last year for the appreciation social challenge. It was a whole lot of fun! April also included a nice visit with the Love Ladies from Arrowhead Beach. That is always a treat as they provide lots of love and blankets and good things to EAT! We were also blessed to receive a large donation of yarn from them this year and that was passed on to the knitter’s group. The Velvet Stitch agreed to become our newest drop-off location. In May, we had our opportunity quilt at the Downtown Market in Elizabeth City and we will be back there on June 25th too. Simply Divine had our opportunity quilt during the last two weeks and Project Linus has been featured in their window display all during this time! During July we will be preparing for our annual Appreciation Social. Please reserve the second Saturday in August for this special annual event.
All through the first half of the year we have been able to provide blankets and quilts to the children in the Albemarle who are most in need of a special hug. Our blanketeers and sponsors have been faithful and busy! Every single one is appreciated. We hope to see you soon!
