Congratulations to Ruth Hockett Patterson who won More Elm Creek Quilts in the Weekly Giveaway! She left a comment where the Weekly Giveaway post appeared on our Facebook fan page and told of her inspiration to contribute to the Project Linus effort. Project Linus’ mission is to provide love, comfort, and warmth for ill and/or needy children in the form of blankets, quilts, and afghans hand made by members of the hundreds of local chapters and thousands of volunteer (“blanketeers”) across the country.
I have seen flyers posted around my community that raise awareness for this effort and have also often wanted to get involved. Seems like a great opportunity for quilters wanting to volunteer their time for a worthy cause! Thank you Ruth for raising our own community’s awareness. And thank you to all of you who left a comment about what motivates or inspires you to make positive change in your world. Of course your responses ran the gamut from heartfelt to hilarious (thanks for the laugh, Vicki W).
