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.

Carolina Princesses made 611 blankets!

 The Carolina Princess Program passed last year's mark by more than 100 blankets. The young ladies work on blankets all year long and they are beautiful. The pictures in my garage don't do it justice. The blankets are immediately picked up by Project Linus volunteers who sew a fabric tag on each one and get it ready for delivery. It's an incredible effort by these young women and their director, Lisa Messick. Thank you!!

Cary Blanketeers - Come join us!


The Cary Blanketeers celebrated their 8th birthday and 4000 blankets with a party this week. Everyone was challenged to make a special birthday blanket and this year’s theme was “It’s a Jungle Out There.” After brunch and a game of ‘Never-Have-I-Ever” (crochet edition), each member presented her blanket. For additional photos of some amazing blankets, see the group’s Facebook page.
