| ASHEVILLE AREA HABITAT FOR HUMANITY |
Size: Throw to Queen Size at least 60" long |
Habitat for Humanity homeowners. Pat Bacon, Family Support Coordinator for Habitat for Humanity, cannot express enough the joy the quilts distributed to families mean to the family. One recipient wrapped herself in the quilt and said "This quilt makes me feel so good." Another recepient, who had been in the hospital, was speechless when presented with a quilt. Her grandmother had made her a quilt but it was lost in a fire. It was obvious to Pat that this quilt would have a special meaning to her. |

 Ellen Knoefel, Chapter Coordinator for Project Linus for the WNC Region, attended the August Pot Luck and inspired us with her presentation regarding Project Linus and a new "weighted" blanket for autistic children. She said that each blanket "provides a hug". Last year Project Linus distributed 4,460 blankets in 15 Western North Carolina counties. Ellen said that 1,180 went to Mission Hospital.
