Operation Linus Love
An Iraqi child holds on to the hand of U.S. Army Sgt. Michael Bearden, native of Cartersville, Ga., during a visit to the Al-Gowood Orphanage in Kadhimiya, Iraq on July 30, 2008. The U.S. Soldiers is part of 4th Platoon, Delta Company,1st Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment,101st Airborne Division.
Operation Linus Love will be officially underway starting in September. I will post all of the deadlines and informtion you will need to participate. This project will allow participatns to make a quilt, crotched blanket or any other variety of blanket from the hard to make to the very simple-sew-free types. I was not sure if I was going to accept store bought blankets, but I think if they are a high quality quilt type blanket that would be fine. I want blankets sent that are sturdy enough to withstand the amount of loving and sleeping with I am hoping it will get from an Iraqi Orphan.
I promise there will be patterns to follow within the next couple of weeks. This way you can plan ahead and get your materials if you are waiting on them. I can’t wait to get this project rolling.
