How do I know this is taking off again?
1. I am getting traffic from some place called ravelry.com;
2. Guys are leaving comments, asking for the address;
3. I’m actually recognizing both people’s names and their email addresses, from last year; and
4. We had almost 1000 web hits on 25 AUG.
Not bad, for day two.
Remember last time, when I put out the challenge for a fabric store to come forward with bundles for sale, at or just above cost? Sew Mama Sew! stepped up and did just that — with some totally amazing results (love you, Sew Mama Sew!)
This time, we need that for thread. We need it for fabric and yarn, too, but thread would be totally awesome. Anybody know someone that can either put me in touch with, or that they can drag into this? Surely there are small business owners out there, willing to Give A Little, right?

Please send me the address. Our guild is able to fill a couple boxes. We can concentrate on thread this month. We are always willing and happy to help out anybody. Not a lot of people but a lot of heart in Eerea, Ohio

i’ve only purchased from them…. but they sell a LOT of thread and have their own line of thread… maybe you can contact connecting threads? http://www.connectingthreads.com

Sign me up! I want to send a knitting package (and, yes, I heard about this on Ravelry).

If you’ll send me the mailing address, I’ll contribute! Elegant idea, dude, delighted to support you in this.

For thread you might try Superior threads in St. George, UT…they seem to be very good people and you might get some help from them with this…
August 26, 2010 at 10:14 pm |
I can send a box or 2 filled with fabric goodies. Just let me know where to mail it..:)

I just knew we’d see IBOL II someday! Please send the address, Art, I’m going to pull from stash this weekend – and I’m passing on the news! BTW – glad to hear that you are doing this one remotely and that you are not back in Iraq.

August 27, 2010 at 1:34 am |
I have eight boxes ready to go this week and I am sure that I can come up with another four to six before the due date……THANK YOU ART….people who will stand up and try to change the world for the better are the best…..Thank you for all that you are doing to make this work.

I used Sew Mama Sew last year, hope you find a source this year. We’re proud of what you’re doing IBOL guy!

Hmmm..thread….just so happens I acquired 3 large boxes of cones of various colors of serger thread in an auction recently – I thought at the time that it was a several lifetimes supply….I doubt that there are four cones the same, but one at a time they will run through an ordinary sewing machine … pity they won’t space bag very well…

Count me in, once again! I’ve also queued up the rest of my crafty family to build boxes.
August 29, 2010 at 7:21 pm |
I’ll make sure to spread the word to my quilt group-we’re small but mighty!
August 31, 2010 at 4:13 pm |
I want to participate please.
September 11, 2010 at 7:22 pm |
I somehow never got around to participating last time. Thank you so much for doing this again! (And thanks to BlackBunny on ravelry.com for bringing the project to the attention of Knitters for Obama!)
My nephew just shipped out to Iraq last month–I like to think that there’s some little tiny something I can do to make things better there.

September 22, 2010 at 6:35 pm |

Please send me the mailing address for IBOL II. My quilt group has been collecting items and we are meeting on Thursday morning to bundle and then go to the post office (I know! The last possible moment….).
Thank you!
