A Nation United Under One <a href=”http://blanketamerica.com/”>Blanket</a><br /><br />There is a movement under way to give away 1,000,000 blankets to the needy this year. Inspired by President Obama’s message of our patchwork heritage, Blanket America is under way. The purchase of each <a href=”http://blanketamerica.com/”>keepsake quilt</a> will ensure the donation of a <a href=”http://blanketamerica.com/”>warm blanket</a> to the less fortunate.<br /><br />Blanket America (see www.blanketamerica.com coming soon) is a program inspired by this message of unity. The program offers a heritage quilt with a fabric patchwork design on the front, with the words of the President’s January 20th, 2009 address on the reverse. This keepsake <a href=”http://www.retailblankets.com/”>quilt</a> represents our unity and generous spirit as a nation.<br /><br />For each quilt purchased a blanket will be donated through Gifts In Kind International. The goal is to reach as many of the 35 million Americans who live in poverty as possible with a message of caring and support and a practical gift of warmth.<br /><br />With the oncoming winter and economic struggles facing families, these quilts will represent a message of hope and unity, bringing Americans together as they share thoughts and wishes on www.blanketamerica.com. This will be the center for sharing the message as we move forward on this project.<br /><br />Prices for the quilts are very reasonable, starting at $59.99, and no additional donation is needed to make the gift of a <a href=”http://blanketusa.com/”>blanket</a>, this will be a part of each purchase. There are also matching pillows and pillow shams available to complete the set. These are colorful patchwork and will easily work in any color scheme.<br /><br />As President Obama stated, our <a href=”http://blanketamerica.com/”>patchwork heritage</a> is the blending of all the people, much stronger together than apart. He called on the nation to unite and to help one another. This <a href=”http://www.retailblankets.com/”>quilt</a> symbolizes that mission of mercy. <br /><br />Comprised of 13 different fabrics representing the 13 original states, these <a href=”http://www.retailblankets.com/”>patchwork quilts</a> will be available in three sizes, lap blanket, full/queen, and king. Along with the decorative pillow shams they will become family keepsakes representing your support of this nationwide program and a remembrance of your gift to others. <br /><br />Also included is a car magnet to help spread the word about the program and let people know you are involved. The magnet is a patchwork design and will safely attach to your vehicle. These are expected to be very popular and are only available with the purchase of the <a href=”http://blanketamerica.com/”>Blanket America quilt</a>.<br /><br />We truly are a patchwork nation, sewn of pieces of different size and strength. Together we create a fabric of unity and caring which will cover the nation and keep us warm. Please join this community movement and support our heritage and history of working together in adversity. <br /><br /><a href=”http://blanketamerica.com/”>Blanket America</a><div class=”blogger-post-footer”><img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5131953312643729748-1941252901219037113?l=blanket-america.blogspot.com’/></div>

This inspiring movement commemorates President Obama’s message of unity and responsibility for our fellow Americans as outlined in the Inaugural Address.<br /><br />The idea is simple: to provide warmth and comfort to another while enjoying your own piece of American history. These quilts are available in three sizes, as a throw, a queen, or a king sized, with decorative pillows and shams also available. The quilt is composed of 13 different fabrics, of different sizes and shapes, representing the diversity and coming together of Americans in crisis. <br /><br />A piece of art, these quilts are gorgeous patchwork on one side, with the January 20th 2009 Inaugural Speech featured on the back along with a flag and lady liberty design. The patchwork quilt is an American tradition of thrift, practicality, and strength. As such, it is the perfect vehicle for showing the strong caring nature of our country. <br /><br />A website is under construction to support the members’ stories, wishes, and comments as the project gets underway. www.blanketamerica.com will be the center point for the stories and inspirations the program will provide. Sharing the joy and building community are as important as the blankets, so be sure to participate on the website. Coming together as a patchwork community to make a difference, one blanket at a time, is sure to be a rewarding experience.<br /><br />It is easy to be a part of the solution, treasure your own beautiful quilt, and help others with no extra cost. Along with your quilt you will receive an easily recognizable car magnet to show your support for the program. The warm feeling of helping others and helping to spread the word is as nice as wrapping up in your quilt.<br /><br />Purchasing the quilts for yourself or as a thoughtful gift will provide years of comfort and support the coming together of Americans to help their own less fortunate. This is President Obama’s call to action, answered in the form of tangible warmth, shared by all.<br /><br />Watch for the opportunity to join in and support the President and First Lady’s message of compassion. Just like a patchwork quilt, your little piece is vital to the whole pattern of unity and brotherhood. Together we can provide one million blankets to the needy and show our solidarity by proudly displaying the quilts in our homes. <br /><br /><a href=”http://blanketamerica.com/”>http://blanketamerica.com/</a><div class=”blogger-post-footer”><img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5131953312643729748-8643799330839957971?l=blanket-america.blogspot.com’/></div>
