Christmas Blanketeer Appreciation
We will lift off the Christmas Season early this year with a special blanket making day and Christmas luncheon. Please join us by noon on December 5th at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, 3900 South 2500 East for light lunch and dessert.
We are pleased to be able to participate again this year in the Christmas “Shop With a Cop” event. We have joined with Officer Darren Orr (the coordinator of this event) and many other volunteers who give their time and talents to make this a happy Christmas gift for children. This year we will donate 110 blankets, all hand made by blanketeers, to help give a sense of security and comfort to kids.
Thanks to
Blanketeers:
“My
son Arden was recently in the NICU at St. Mark’s for almost two weeks. We received a blanket from Project Linus and
wanted to first thank you and second see how we could become involved. …”

“Words
cannot express our gratitude for the time, effort and thoughtfulness of Joy and Barbara in making these darling
blankets. The children will absolutely
cherish and love them!'

Riverton Blanket Day
For those of you who are located in the South Area of Salt
Lake Valley please remember that you are always invited to participate with
Lynn Milsap's blanket making day at the Riverton Senior Center. This month they will be meeting on December 9th
from 9:30 to noon. Usually, they meet
on the 4th Friday of every month.
Hints and Tips:
There are lots of fun patterns for blanket edges on
fleece. This one is two rows of two double crochets
in each hole, including the first row thru the holes. Topped with a single crochet round.
