I'm super interested in Project Linus. Do I need to be part of chapter to make and donate blankets? Also, there is a huge conference coming up...July 20-24(dates may be a little off)...on July 22 there is a benefit for Project Linus with guest speaker Jennifer Chiaverini, author of the Elm Creek Quilts novels. You can check out the event on the Project Linus website. Apparently the whole conference and benefit are open to non Project Linus members as well. There will also be an expo of quilt product vendors..I'm excited about this. It will be at the Peoria, IL civic center. I thought I would share this info for those who may not know about it. :)
