crafters: help out the families affected by the everett fire

[ifotismeni]

hi everybody -- there's a movement afoot to make blankets for some of the families -- someone who knows some of the victims is collecting 9 x 9 knitted (or crocheted!) squares by January 5th to make into blankets. i think this is an awesome idea and a 9 x 9 square is EASILY done.

debbi, who is putting this together, has more details on this post of her blog.

after hanging out at spark crafts and at artbeat i KNOW there are a lot of crafters in the davis area. i think if we pulled together we could make a huge impact in this one small way.

if you're interested in helping out, please feel free to make contact with debbi or you can drop a comment here as i've been in touch with her as well. she asks that her address not be posted publically, but she has given me permission to email it to people who want to know where to send their knitted squares.


if you're not the crafty type, Universalhub has posted an address where you can send monetary donations.


(mods, i hope this post is ok. i figure with all the crafters in the area this is appropriate.)

we can teach you. it's easy. seriously; I'd be happy to host a craft night at Pandemonium and we'll crank them out and teach anyone who wants to do one.
