Bethany and Project Linus

A few months ago Gary Stanley came up to me and said he had some fabric for Project Linus that had been his mother's fabric.  I thanked him and he said, "You will find this is good stuff.  She didn't buy anything but good fabric."  Wow, was he right.  I am accustomed to receiving fabric that has been in boxes for many years, tucked away in a basement.  Not so with this fabric.  It is lovely fabric and Project Linus if very grateful for the donation.







Purple must have been a favorite color of hers! 
We are so pleased that Gary shared her material and we will be able to share her material with children throughout Joplin and SW Missouri.
Thank you, Gary!!


Project Linus of Joplin/SW Missouri has had it's "home" at Bethany since we started in June of 2003.  We had four members--Rayma Johnson, June Duvall (our resident quilt maker and promoter of all things Linus) and two ladies from Neosho and myself.  We have given over 10,000 blankets, quilts and afghans to area children.  Thank you for allowing Project Linus to call Bethany "home".  Joyce Gentzler and the Joplin/SWMissouri Chapter of Project Linus!!
