I am the local Project Linus coordinator for North Wales and today I was presented with 32 quilts today from one of our local quilting groups, aren't they wonderful, I mean the quilts and quilters :).

Their Charity organizer went round our LQS who donated an absolute stack of fabrics, amazing.

I have been going through them this evening and these ladies have really taken a lot of care and attention to the making of them.

One Lady did two quilts same tops different fleece backings and her FMQ on both of them is exquisite, and we all know what a swine fleece is!

The middle quilt in the 2nd photo is the one I am talking about and she did small stippling in all the background leaving the trains etc. clear, amazing.

What generous talented ladies. I had no idea Project Linus was international! Great cause! There will be more smiles when the children recieve them.

Wonderful quilts and such generous quilters. Kudos to the LQS for helping out with the fabrics.

What I love to see is that there are no simple quilts there They are all amazing!!! Well done Nice to know Project Linus lives across the pond too!

It is so exciting to know Project Linus is now all over the world. There are so many hurting, needy children and the Project Linus blankets bring them more joy than we could ever get ourselves from making them.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
The Portland/Vancouver Chapter here has made around 32,000 blankets for Project Linus. We just completed a TV program that will be shown here in Oregon next month. There is a segment on the web site under "new videos" and is part of the Hawaiian Quilting program. Next month we will post the whole Linus TV program on the web site.

I just made my first 2 blocks for Project Linus at the Portland show. It was fun to do and knowing it is for a good cause made it even better.

I found a Project Linus table at our local Quilt Show last month and picked up two kits. Just finished making 3 more kits and working on the binding now. They donate quilts to so many charities that I love, so I will be making many more quilts for PL here in the Dallas, TX area.

Marvelous and think how happy the little folks will be to get them and the quilter's are to give the quilts!

My 15 yo son has had many surgeries over the years to correct his multiple heart defects and has been the recipient of more than one Project Linus quilt and he treasures them all. It brought tears to my eyes to see and read about all of the lovely women (here in the US and abroad) who have contributed their time and effort to create so many "blankies" for kids who need them.

Thanks from this Mama who appreciates each of you!

katesnanna 09-27-2012 03:07 PM

Wonderful! and as Annie68 said, it's so satisfying.

LadyElisabeth 09-27-2012 04:10 PM

The heartfelt thanks from the children are an added blessing for the Project Linus sewers, knitters, quilters. You are all wonderful.
