🧵 Calling all quilters & sewing volunteers! 🧵

Our Project Linus chapter received a wonderful donation of several handmade quilts today—but they need one final step before they can be given to children in our community: binding! 💙

We’re looking for volunteers who would be willing to finish one (or more!) of these quilts. We’ll provide the quilts and binding materials—you provide your time and sewing skills!

If you’re interested, please comment below or send me a message. 😊

Please share!

Every finished quilt means one more child receives a little handmade comfort! ❤️

I picked up a bunch of gorgeous quilts this morning from some of my Blanketeers from Monroe County. Including this donation, our chapter has collected over 400 new, handmade blankets (409 to be exact!) for the youth of Southern West Virginia. I am so grateful to be able to coordinate this effort. Thank you to all our volunteers— I simply could not do it without you!

I’m excited to share that our chapter has forged a new partnership with Career Connections!

Career Connections is “an employment and training program that focuses on developing academic, occupational and social skills for persons 16- 24 years of age.” You can read more about their program here: https://wdbmov.com/careerconnections/

Our chapter is going to share the comfort of homemade blankets with the youth in this program this coming Christmas! 🎅🏻🧑‍🎄🎄🎁

So we will be in need of some LARGER size blankets— they often help these youth get started in their first apartments. Throw size blankets (or bigger) would be ideal. Please keep this in mind as you plan out your quilting/crocheting/knitting projects for the rest of the year!

As always, I am so appreciative of our “Blanketeers.” Thank you for sharing your talents with the youth of Southern WV! I can’t wait to see the beautiful blankets we collect this holiday season!

This Christmas Eve feels especially meaningful as we celebrate 30 years of Project Linus—three decades of comfort, compassion, and community.

Since 1995, Project Linus volunteers across the country have lovingly donated over 10 million handmade blankets to children facing illness, trauma, or hardship. Each blanket is more than fabric and thread—it’s a hug, a reminder that someone cares, and a bit of warmth when it’s needed most.

On a night centered around love, generosity, and hope, we’re grateful for every volunteer, every stitch, and every child comforted along the way.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Christmas Eve and heartfelt thanks for being part of this incredible journey.
