Project Linus has been a part of the mission ministry at Beautiful Savior for more than 20 years. After many years of being the quilt lady in charge, it is time for a change. I will continue to make Project Linus quilts on my own, it remains my passion, but I will not be providing the quilts for volunteers to work on every third Saturday of each month.
November 15 (9am-12pm at BSLC) will be our final Project Linus volunteer workday unless someone is willing to step up and keep it going. If you are interested, let me know and I will be available to assist.
Thank you to all the faithful volunteers over the many years. You have provided hugs for thousands of God’s precious children.

We have also decided to discontinue our monthly Meet & Make event for the time being. While it started strong with enthusiastic attendance and memorable moments, participation has dwindled and become inconsistent, with very low turnout in recent months. We’re open to restarting Meet & Make in the future if there’s enough interest from those willing to attend regularly and a few volunteers to help organize. If you’d like to see it return or want to lend a hand, please let us know. Thank you to all who joined and made it a special time.

Dear Friends,
Thank you ladies for making our final Project Linus / Meet and Make such a memorable day. The delicious Thai food lunch, beautiful cake and cards truly made us feel so very special. For years you have shown up with open hearts and busy hands. Your generosity, creativity, and friendship have meant the world to us. Watching little Megan Reed finish up her quilt for her Barbie during our final gathering was icing on the cake!
As we close this chapter, we also want to say: we’re not disappearing! If any of you have an idea for a short-term project (something that could be completed in just a session or two), and you’re willing to take the lead for that limited time, please know that we would love to pitch in and help make it happen. We’d be thrilled to support fresh ideas and new energy.
