Tutorial: Gabe’s Gifts blanket drive for Project Linus

Amanda from We Are the Joneses recently announced Gabe’s Gifts, her year-long blanket drive for Project Linus to honor the child she lost through miscarriage. She has pledged to make 12 blankets herself, and is collecting blankets from others in order to make one large blanket donation to Project Linus. Each Monday, she’ll feature a tutorial for making a different kind of handmade blanket. Read more at We Are the Joneses about this very special blanket drive.
