No Comments Project Linus
Project Linus is a non-profit organization that provides children living in shelters, hospitals, cancer treatment facilities, etc, with homemade blankets and afgans, made 100% from volunteers. Their national headquarters are located in Bloomington, IL and is headed up with President Carol Babbitt and Vice-President Mary Balagna. Their main purpose is to provide children with some sort of comfort through some of the hardest times in their young lives.
QuiltersWarehouse is a huge supporter of Project Linus. They make their patterns available for sale with 100% of the proceeds going straight back to Project Linus. It would be wonderful for anyone to help out with this very worthy cause.
In addition to purchasing Project Linus patterns from QuiltersWarehouse, here is another way that is going to be available to everyone. This email came in to us from Judy Howard from Heavenly Patchwork.

Thanks for helping raise $10,000 for Project Linus and other charity quilters. Judy “Charity Quilt Day” March 29 Wraps Up “National Quilt Month”
To wrap up “National Quilt Month,” Judy Howard is designating March 29 as “Charity Quilt Day.” This is a campaign to raise awareness and funding for the sacrificial volunteer work of hundreds of thousands of quilters who provide comforters for sick babies, orphans, homeless and elderly people, cancer and Alzheimer’s patients, soldiers and victims of disaster-those most in need of the touch of God’s love and comfort that quilts represent.
On March 29, Judy is donating the net proceeds of Amazon sales of her books, “Heavenly Patchwork I and II” and “Centennial Stitches-Oklahoma History in Quilts” and companion DVDs to non-profit organizations like local Quilt Guilds, The Hugs Project, Binky Patrol, ABC Quilts, Project Linus, Quilts for Injured Soldiers, Wrap Them in Love, Newborns in Need, Quilts for Kids, My Brother’s Keeper, etc, that provide charity quilts. You may even designate your favorite local or national charity quilting non-profit.
Besides donating to worthy charities, those who purchase Judy’s award-winning gift books on Amazon on March 29 will receive bonus gifts valued at $100 of free quilt patterns, quilting tips and book excerpts by renowned celebrity quilt artists and historians like Kaye Wood, Darcy Ashton, Nancy Kirk, Ruth Harris, Jennie Rayment, Judy Anne Breneman, M.J. Van Deventer, Lucille Ralston, Dorcas Publishing, NLS Productions and more.
Please join Judy on “National Charity Quilt Day” in honoring charity quilters and their tireless work by helping “Wrap those in need with Quilts of Love” through your purchase of “Heavenly Patchwork” gift books and DVDs on Amazon March 29.
