Phase 1 - blankets

Blankets are the first priority.  Lisa will be meeting her contact at Partners In Health on March 19th so she is requesting that blankets be sent to her by March 15th.  If for whatever reason you miss that deadline it is ok b/c any extra blankets can be sent with the pillows that will go out at a later date. Once you have made a blanket please contact Lisa for her mailing address.

Here is some info concerning the blankets:

• The blankets could be handmade child-size in any fashion - knit, crochet, quilted, etc and be any size - for infant, young child or twin sized for an older child.
• They need to have the ability to be easily hand washed and easily and quickly air dried. They are VERY concerned about the spread of disease and infection. There is no means by which to wash anything by machine.
• So with all of this in mind, she said that handmade blankets need to be made of cotton or best would be lightweight washable fleece. It would be important to keep this in mind for pillows as well.
• Since the blankets are part of the hearts campaign I think it would be nice to incorporate a heart onto the blanket somehow.   

We would love to see any blankets you've made so please feel free to post a picture here!!
