Happy snow day!

Hi everyone!

Give A Day. Get A Disney Day!
Well, I've had a couple of emails showing interest in the Disney Give A Day. Get A Day. program. Other parts of the country, particularly Florida and California have received 1200-1800!!! The coordinator in Kansas City (I think) has commitments for 1200 blankets (and is now wondering where she will put them all as they will all be delivered before the end of February!!) It has been crazy hearing what some people want to do...or don't want to do. Anyway... I've had a couple of interested folks... a total of 9 blankets. I can handle that.

Cute quilts
Several of you were taken by a couple of the quilts Nellie brought in over the last few months. I knew I had seen the patterns for each, and I finally took some time to find them.


The Wiggly Worm Quilt I found in the April/May issue of Country Woman Magazine - page 44. They also have the pattern/instructions online at http://www.countrywomanmagazine.com/2010/FM10/Crafts-Wiggly.asp?RefURL=&KeyCode=&tdate=&PMCode=&OrgURL=



The You Are Here Quilt I found in Quiltmaker's Favorites Spring 2009 issue. They don't have the pattern online but have a website for the pattern http://www.quiltmaker.com/patterns/details.html?idx=5019 and you can order the pattern or a copy of the magazine there. It looks like the shipping is outrageous (nearly $10?) so you might want to borrow someone else's copy instead.

Christmas Quilts
My husband and I spent part of Christmas Eve delivering some Christmas and winter-themed quilts. We were given a donation of some Beanie Babies so each one had a toy attached as well. I know the quilts and toys were most appreciated!

Blanket Bee Saturday, January 9
Our next blanket day will be this Saturday at the Moose Lodge. It is expected to be warmer by then! Hope to see lots of you there! If anyone would like to try the Quiltmaker's Kite 'n Kaboodle pattern, let me know and I'll bring some copies for you to use.


National Make a Blanket Day
The Project Linus National Make a Blanket Day will be Saturday, February 20, 2010. Our blanket bee day is the weekend before. Does anyone have any ideas for something different we might do for MABD? I'm open to ideas.

All for now!
