ok new project

Anyone want to help?

I read about a family who brings blankets to their hospital where the children are treated for cancer. The blankets are given to the children to keep. it becomes something special in their lives and something special for the parents as well sometimes if the child does not live. So seeing as how I like to make things. and seeing as how I like to share and help I have decided to start a HOMEMADE blanket drive. I will deliver the blankets to the children. There is a coworker of my husband who has a child battling neuroblastoma AND leukemia. She is why I am doing this. This is for you Mary. You asked for your birthday for people to think about what they could do to fight cancer. I cant kill the cells and I cant find the medicines that can, but I CAN make the children more comfortable while they fight!

So who's in? Anyone want to make a blanket or two? Fleece or knit or crochet. sewn or quilted! whatever you can do! send me your blankets! and I am going to make a permanent home for my sewing machine so I can sew sew sew!!! Any size would do, small enough for a lap blanket, big enough for a young adult, whatever you can do! So what should I call this project? My kids all have a special blanket I made them, they call them Lovey. so I think we should call it Project Lovey! Lovey Blankets, here we come!

  4. My daughter has a tied fleece blanket from one of her hospital visits. It is so nice and soft and very, very warm. It is about crib sized. She was probably 9 when she got it. It is just the right size for a young child to snuggle up with.
