My daughter and I both do. We love making the quilts and the idea the kids will have some comfort from them.

I have made several from their kits and from my own stash. Their kits always feature really fun fabrics and the pattern is so quick and easy. This is a wonderful cause and the quilts are very much appreciated.

We don't have one in the state of SD, but I have been teaching a group of kids to make quilts for project Linus in our state.

I sent off 6 last week and 2 yesterday. That makes 13 for me all together. They are looking for quilts for teens, especially boys. I made hockey, motorcycles, baseball. Will make more when I get some other projects out of the way.

Just make sure you follow their requirements. They are quite firm in their needs; these kids are undergoing chemo, etc. and are very sensitive.

You don't have to have a branch in your area. You can send them to the main place in Fairless Hills, PA. They will send them to hospitals that have the need. I don't care where mine go, am just happy some ill child can have a quilt to cuddle in.
