Last February my high school chorus sponsored a Project Linus "Make a Blanket Day", and since I promised quite a while ago that I would share some pics of the blankets that were made, here you are. These blankets were knitted and crocheted by a local knitter's group. This sweet bunch of women meets every Tuesday morning at a local library, and when I contacted them to see if they would be interesting in making a couple of blankets, they heartily agreed. What I ended up with was 35 blankets of all sizes, including one spectacular quilt! These women went above and beyond the call of duty, and they were so proud of the things they made - and they should be! I think the photos speak for themselves.
And one of my favorites - little piggie heads and tails:
These are just the blankets from the knitter's group. The kids made lots of fleece blankets - you know, the ones with the tied edges - there are about 60 of them. So, almost 100 blankets to donate to one of the local Project Linus Chapters! More pics of the blankets here.
As I was taking pictures this evening, Lizzie thought it a good idea to stay out of the way, so she went to her favorite place to be in the warmer weather - the roof of the front porch. There's a railing around it, so she's claimed it for her own:
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
