Blanket for Blanket, New Program Benefits Everyone

Blanket America is an exciting new program to bring warmth and hope to the needy this year. This is a one to one program making a donation of a warm blanket to the needy for each Heritage Patchwork Quilt purchased. Inspired by the words of the President’s Inaugural Address this new program hopes to bring one million blankets to the needy this year with the help of the community.

Participation is easy. Blanket America offers a lovely patchwork quilt for your purchase, constructed of 13 different fabrics in a classic patchwork design. The colors and textures will blend with any décor, and the quilt is suitable for display or for loving use. On the back of this quilt the words of the January 20th 2009 inaugural speech are preserved, including the reference to our patchwork heritage.

This “Patchwork Heritage” is one of the strengths of our nation. Bringing together the different colors, strengths, and ideas of all Americans creates a strong fabric that will endure. Commemorating that message and the spirit of generosity that brings us together is the purpose of this quilt.

The Blanket America package includes your quilt in your choice of three sizes, a 14 page informational booklet, and a patchwork pattern car magnet featuring the Blanket America logo. Ranging in price from $59.99 to $99.99, with pillow shams and matching throw pillows also available, the patchwork quilt is an excellent value. Your investment in this keepsake commemorative will also bring a blanket to a needy family. There is no better way to remember this historic event and show your community spirit at the same time.

By working together and celebrating the strength our differences give us, we can reach the goal of warmth and comfort for all this year. Providing a blanket may seem a small step, but the value of your caring and concern will add to the comfort the blanket will provide. So many of us take for granted being warm enough, it is important that we remember our neighbors who may be cold. Often the simplest gift is the most effective is lifting spirits.

There will be many stories and wishes for this project, they will be documented and shared at www.blanketamerica.com. Community participation in this project will be invaluable, as well as the visible given to the program by display of the car magnets and quilts throughout the country. Be a part of this movement early and provide your family with warmth and comfort, and share that gift with another.
