Hey guys! It's the end of the month - which means blanket party time! Don't forget each Monday you can see a special blanket tutorial at Today's Top 20, here at We're the Joneses, and This & That Creative!
For anyone new - I've started a blanket drive this year to raise blankets for Project Linus. Why? To donate blankets in my son Gabe's name. I lost our baby in August due to a miscarriage. I really wanted something positive to be associated with his name. And giving back is the best way to do that.
Project Linus is such a great organization. They donate handmade blankets to kids (newborn - teens) who need them the most. I'm really happy to be working with them.
March is going to be a really hard month for me. My due date was actually my birthday - March 14. So I'm hoping to make a blanket drop off. If you have any blanket that you would be willing to donate - please send them my way! {You can email me at amandablogs(at)yahoo}
Here is one of the receiving blankets I made with the help from Raspberry Creek Fabric. She really went above and beyond - sending me super cute flannel for 4 blankets! THANK YOU! :) Make sure to check our her shop for super cute prints!
And I have a taggie blanket ready. This was thanks to Sew It Up Fabric. She has kits that come with the adorable fabric, minky and ribbon all ready to go. The instructions are super easy. This was such a fun, quick project!
Can't wait to see your projects!!
I'll pick one project using random to send out a little package of my favorite crafty things so make sure I'm able to get your email address! :)
And don't forget tomorrow is the Blogger of the Month Party. Come link up your fave. project you've made in February for a chance to win a great prize from My Vinyl Designer as well as a month's of advertising here at Today's Top 20!
This is a great idea! I lost 2 babies to miscarriage last year. One in January and one in August. I too would have been due in March. I'll have to send a blanket in honor of my two babies lost as well
