The Project Linus Chapter of Wake County, NC was started in 1996 by Susie Holmes. Over 50,000 blankets have been delivered to many local groups and agencies that help seriously ill or traumatized children who need a HUG from a blanket including: Wake Med Hospitals, Rex Hospital, Duke Hospital NICU, Safe Space (for children of abused women receiving support), Hospice (for their Reflections program for grieving children and teens), Make a Wish Foundation, the children at Salvation Army, Children's Flight of Hope, and Wake County Social Services.

Quilting Bee at Spoonflower

Our friends at Spoonflower in Durham are hosting a quilting bee for the holidays.  Attend any of their crafting socials in October and November and make a 12" x 12" quilt block from their coordinating fabrics.  In December, the blocks will be sewn into quilts for Project Linus.

Visit the Spoonflower blog, News from the Greenhouse, for more details and to register.
As we head into colder weather, we have quilts on the brain, and starting at this month's Open Studio, we're going to initiate a social quilting bee for the holidays!
For any attendee interested in participating in the quilting bee, we will provide coordinating fabrics for folks to complete a 12" x 12" quilt block in a pattern your choice at any of our crafting socials, Pins & Needles or Open Studio, in October and November. Folks will leave their finished blocks with us, and, at December's Open Studio, we will finish the quilt to be donated to our local chapter of Project Linus for the holidays!
