Do you
remember Linus of the venerated Peanuts cartoon?
He was a piano virtuoso who loved
his blankie and also shows how universal that love for just the right soft
cloth can be. My mom and aunts are amazing quilters and can seemingly take
anything and make a gorgeous, collectible quilt from it. Even if you, like me,
lack that “quilting gene,” you can blanket the world with your love and good
intentions by collecting them for donation.
I put out a call and got a ton of nice comforters to donate to Project
Linus, www.projectlinus.org for gifting cozy
quilts and oh-so-warm blankets to kids in shelters, hospices, hospitals and
wherever the cloaking comfort of love might be needed. My mom recently made a
quilt of some of my crazy outfits from the 80’s so I can only hope the leads of
Linus have a good sense of humor and a love of neon colors!
