Make-A-Blanket Weekend

Today I hosted a Make-A-Blanket Day/Weekend for Project Linus with some amazingly creative friends. {Click here to read more about Project Linus and Project 30.}

We. had. a. blast. All for a good cause.

We sewed.

And quilted.

And ate.

{Thanks for letting me take this pic, April!}

All while the boys and Morgan watched the Little Ones.

{And played lots and lots of Wii.}

We even had a surprise {early} visitor - KK, complete with a new car for Morgan.

{She's not excited or anything.}

By the end of the "work" day, we had five finished blankets to donate to Project Linus, with two more nearly finished and three more waiting to be started. I wish I could say that I finished more than one quilt {my first ever to donate... it only took me two years!}, but between all the dishes and a sick baby... I was just happy to get to dinner!

We topped off the day with dinner out - just for the girls!

And the biggest tip of the hat goes to my dear college friend Sonja - for traveling the farthest and for finishing up two blankets! {Sonja, I'm so glad you were able to make it out. And seriously, Faith, next time, we're dragging you out here if we have to.} I hope we get to do this again soon, Ladies!
