Newtown blanketed in love

The vice president of Bloomington-based Project Linus began contacting chapters of the organization, which makes and distributes handmade blankets and afghans to help children who are seriously ill, traumatized or otherwise in need.
In less than an hour, she had commitments for all the blankets she needed – 700 to 800.
