Project Linus Blanket Bee Results

Linus2 On April 27 over 60 volunteers gathered to cut, sew and assemble quilts for Project Linus at the Northgate Quality Sewing Center. Project Linus is a national non-profit organization with the mission of putting Linus3_3a hand-made blanket in the arms of every ill or traumatized child.

Last October, the Quality Sewing & Vacuum Center & Pacific Fabrics & Crafts in Northgate completed 91 quilts. On April 27 the goal was to make 125 quilts but they almost doubled their goal and completed 151 quilts and had 97 quilts turned in, totaling 248 quilts! Wow, that is a lot of quilts for a great cause!

While 248 quilts and 60 volunteers is impressive, the event didn't stop there. All Pacific Fabrics & Crafts locations held this event on April 27 and between the Puyallup, Bremerton, Everett, Bellevue and Outlet location they coLinus1_2mpleted about 380 quilts with over 100 volunteers. That is over 600 quilts made for Project Linus!
