The
Boise/SW Idaho/E Oregon Project Linus chapter was established in
February 1998 by a group of volunteers who wanted to be of service
to and make a difference in the lives of children in our community.
23,926 children have received a blanket from our
Boise/SW Idaho/E Oregon Project Linus chapter since our chapter was
started in February 1998.
Visit our Project Linus National Website,
http://www.projectlinus.org,
for additional information about Project Linus including the
history of our organization,
local chapter listings, and patterns
for quilts and afghans.

If you can quilt, crochet, or knit - please
consider making a blanket for a child who needs a hug. You don't have to be an expert to create a blanket
that is beautiful to a child.
If you're not a quilter, crocheter, or knitter,
you can still help - give us a call!

Finish Fleece Blankets - both sew & no-sew
A note
regarding fleece blankets: We have received several fringed fleece
blankets with the knots in the fringe tied so tightly that the blanket
will not lay flat - the blankets look more like a bowl than a blanket. We
have had to take the time to cut off all the fringe which reduces the size of
the blanket and wastes a lot of fabric.
If you
do knot the fringe - PLEASE DO NOT TIE THE KNOTS TOO TIGHTLY.

Project
Linus was named after Linus, the adorable security blanket toting
character from the Peanuts comic strip. |
"Of
all the things in the strip, I think
that I am most proud of
Linus' security blanket.
I may not have invented the term,
but I like to think I made it
a part of our language"
. . . Charles Schulz |
Charles
Schulz was aware of Project Linus and was delighted to have Linus
inspire blanket makers to help comfort
a child in need. |
