Welcome to the Southeastern Minnesota chapter of Project Linus!
Before Making Tied Fleece Blankets be sure to cut off the selvages before you begin. Also cut squares from each corner so your blanket does not become a circle. THANK YOU!
We are a local chapter of Project Linus, a national nonprofit organization that provides handmade blankets to seriously ill and traumatized children. Based in Rochester, we're looking for volunteers, or "blanketeers," to make quilted, knitted, crocheted, crochet-edged fleece, or tied fleece blankets. Please consider joining us to help provide comfort and security to children in our area.
The next Project Linus meeting is scheduled for Saturday, May 11th from 9:30 - 12:30 at Oasis Church at 3819 18th Ave NW in Rochester. We will be recording, labeling and sorting the incoming blankets and quilts, as well as doing quality control. Bring your sewing kit or just yourself as many of the sewing supplies are provided.
