The project ask the question...........What if instead of building a wall to keep people out, 2,000 miles of yarn be used to make blankets to welcome people, just as our Statue of Liberty suggestions when she says, "Give me your Tired, your poor". 3,500,640 yards of Blankets is the call.

I post this as a means to help spread the word about this project. I stumbled across this the other day and was unsure how many people knew about it. There's not a lot of time since the deadline is August 25th I believe to be included in the exhibit. I've also seen a note in the RAVELRY Group that indicates the deadline to donate has been extended to November 4th, 2018
What an absolutely brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteLove it. And hope it is a HUGE success.
Thank you for the visit. I too love this idea and wished I'd known about it soon; but do want to see what I might be able to do and hope that blogging about it, will help spread the word.
