For the quilt lovers out there, Big Sky Quilts has on display the winners of the Hoffman Quilt Challenge. For this challenge, all the participants are given a piece of the same fabric, and they create a quilt using this fabric. I had an opportunity to see the quilts this morning when I dropped off some blankets for them to take to flooding victims up in the Calgary area. These are not typical quilts; they are art quilts, and they are all just amazing! If you can, make some time to stop by and look at the quilts - they're back in the classroom, and they'll be there only until Tuesday, August 27.
For those of you in Helena, we'll be having a Blanket Bee this Saturday! I've wanted to do it all summer and I am finally able to make some time! Bring your sewing machine and routine sewing supplies to Prickly Pear Quilts, 10:30 to 3! We'll be in their very cool (both in temperature and ambiance, for those who've never been there!) downstairs classroom. I am so looking forward to seeing you all again.... it's been a very long time since we got together last!
That's it for now! Enjoy these last few weeks of summer. I'm already seeing signs of the seasons changing!

Another sweet Thank You
Dear Project Linus-
I wanted to write you to thank you for the blanket we received during my son's hospital stay At one month, our little one was admitted for breathing issues. While our nurses were great, all of the sheets & blankets were standard hospital issue. On our 3rd day, a nurse brought a lovely blue knitted blanket and I was so thrilled because for the first time, my child looked like a baby and not a body hooked up to tubes & monitors. I held him & the blanket and we were both comforted. So to all who knit - Thank You!

My son had to go to the er for the first time in his life. He ended up with stitches and a fractured skull. We were admitted to the hospital and he was very excited to have the wonderful blanket that was provided by your program. Thank you so much, something so simple as a blanket can give great comfort. Thank you again
