Blanketeers:
Remember - Fleece blanketeers: JoAnn Fabrics has recently introduced a new CRAFT fleece product called HAPPY VALUE (marked $4/yard) which is the same quality of fabric as the Make It Give It kits which is NOT up to our quality standards for blankets (it's quite thin) and should not be used for our blanket making. It will not stand up to all the 'loving' by the children who receive our gifts. Though the price is tempting, please do not use that product for Project Linus blankets as we will not be able to distribute them. Thank you so much for understanding.
Thank you for everyone that responded to our recent request for toddler blankets. We were overwhelmed and we have plenty now.
Our current need is the typical child size (eg fleece blanket 1-1/2 yds (54") by width of fabric 58"-60"). Thank you for helping us with this request.
Happy blanketeering!

Unfortunately, we cannot accept blankets made with the "Make it Give it" fleece sold at JoAnn's as it is not as durable as their standard fleece. We want our blankets to last through years and years of snuggling and hugging. Thank you for your understanding and support.
