The April Linus meeting saw another round of amazing blankets donated by the ever gracious online crafting community!
Many of these awesome crafters are now looking for places to donate their awesomeness locally, which thrills me to no end!
Log Cabins For Linus and Go Get Granny were an unexpectedly huge success and while I’m not longer collecting individual blocks, I do hope to have all the ones I’ve received so far put together and donated to Linus by the end of May.
Can I do it? I sure hope so!
Made by Friends of Pren (pictured below!). They donated 8 fleece blankets.
This is what went out the door with me Saturday morning. What a haul!

I neglected to get a finished photo of this blanket, so here’s a sneak peak I posted to Twitter. You can see the full blanket in this TTMT. Blocks made by Mary, joined by me.
I also forgot to take a photo of this gorgeous blanket made from blocks that Janina donated, as shown by me in the above TTMT. I’m pleading sniffles for forgetting…I’ve been sick!
Thank you, thank you, thank you a million times to everyone that made Go Get Granny and Log Cabins for Linus such a huge success!
If you make a Sew Awesome Craft or any pattern, craft or recipe from sewhooked, I’d love to see a photo. Email me or add it to the sewhooked flickr group.
Happy crafting!

Sticking with Linus Connection since there’s really not any place here that would appreciate them as TLC does *hugs*
Well, maybe you’ll have to spearhead something similar! I bet you could do it!
hahaha. that is super funny. “friends of pren” im gonna share that on my bloggy blog. if its ok if i use your picture. i never did get around to talking about having your own blanket party. id better do that this week :0)
Of course you can use my photos! Don’t forget about the TTMT with your blankets in it, too, lol!
Awesomeness! My three blankets plus the SOTP blanket will be mailed by the end of April. Then on to my local charity – Open Door Mission in Omaha. You should visit their website. They are a huge facility with about 350 beds, emergency family housing, permanent housing, a men’s compound, and even a big thriftstore for families merely in danger of becoming homeless! I love it. In fact, I think I’m going to take my kids on a little road trip in June to visit it and deliver our pillowcases.
I’m just thrilled that you found somewhere local to donate to. The need is everywhere and if I’ve nudged a few people to donate, then all the better!
What an awesome idea to get your kids involved!
