Our mission for the 2016/2017 season continues to be providing quilts for teens graduating from the Foster Care Program through the Linus Project. In addition to quilts of all sizes, we welcome lap quilts and shawls for Attic Angel Memory Care, and UW Hospital Dolls.

A bin is available at meetings for donations of fabric, batting or thread.

Any longarmer interested in machine quilting a Linus quilt will be provided backing and batting along with the quilt top. (Please contact me (Julayne) ahead of time so I can assemble the items and make arrangements for delivery)

SUGGESTED SIZES

Foster care graduate needs generous twin quilts measuring 63 X 87 to 78 X 87.

Attic Angel Lap Quilt size 24 X 36 (ideal for wheel chair use)

Attic Angel Shawl size 24 X 60 to 24 X 72
            (Attic Angel donations using fleece backings are ideal)

UW Hospital Doll patterns are available upon request.

2016/2017 KIT EXAMPLES

Kits for this year will consist of precut blocks of 10 ½ and 8 ½ inches in height. This enables us to use up some of the beautiful fabric that has been donated. The blocks are sewn by flipping every other piece as shown below. . . .

The template being used is by Clover and is called Grandmothers One Patch collection by Nancy Zieman.

This is an example of a scrappy looking kit using 8 ½ inch blocks
