Linus and tigers and bears, oh my!
This is the ninth pattern QUILTMAKER has published in support of Project Linus, an organization that provides handmade blankets for seriously ill or traumatized children. Learn more about Project Linus at projectlinus.org or by writing to Project Linus, P.O. Box 5621, Bloomington, IL 61702-5621.
Everyone is invited to contribute to this worthwhile project in any of these ways:
- By January 25, 2008, make and send a row, with all foundation papers removed please, to QUILTMAKER Project Linus, 741 Corporate Circle, Suite A, Golden, CO 80401. Local quiltmakers will meet and sew them into crib quilts.
- Take blocks or rows to a Project Linus chapter near you and help sew them into quilts on Make-A-Blanket Day, February 16, 2008.
- Make a quilt and send it to a Project Linus chapter or to us by March 30, 2008 for local distribution.
Please let others know that the complete pattern for Hopes & Dreams is available at quiltmaker.com/projectlinus. All of the Project Linus patterns from years past are posted there as well.
This year's design was created by Matthew Pridemore.
"My wife Heidi Pridemore designs quilts for Quiltmaker and other magazines. I thought I'd try my hand at designing a block that would be simple to piece. When Quiltmaker Editor-in-Chief asked if she could use my block for this year's Project Linus quilt, I was delighted to contribute to this worthwhile charity."
––––––Matthew Pridemore, Gilbert, Arizona
Complete directions for Hopes & Dreams also appear in Quiltmaker January/February 2008 (No. 119). If you cannot find this issue at your local quilt shop, order back issues at www.VillageQuilt Shoppe.com.
