2017 No Sew or Sew Blanket Fellowship



We invite you and your friends to join us
once again for our  Annual No-Sew (and "Sew")
Blanket Making Fellowship!

This year, we will be donating the blankets to
the Children at Changing Lives Center for women and
children. Changing Lives Center is a domestic
abuse treatment center that is operated by Phoenix
Rescue Mission. The children's ages range from
newborn to 18 years old.

On top of the regular "No-Sew" fleece blanket we
usually make, we would like to introduce a "Sew"
baby blanket making section for those who would like
to bring in your own sewing machines and sew simple
36 inch square blankets for babies.

We will meet on Saturday, November 18th at 10 AM in the
Fellowship Hall. We should finish by 1 PM.

For the 'NO-SEW" Fleece Blanket,
you will need the following items:
-------------------------------------------
1. a pair of sharp fabric scissors
2. sewing pins or safety pins
3. blue painter's tape
4. Matching fleece that is 48 inches x 60 inches in size
    or 60 x 72 inches.

For the "SEW" Blanket,
you will need the following items:
-------------------------------------------
1. your sewing machine
2. a pair of sharp fabric scissors, thread, pins
3. Matching soft fleece/cotton/flannel/minky
    that is 36 inch square (1 yard of matching fabric).

If you do not have time to shop for the materials,
we will have extra fleece/fabric available for you
to make a blanket at the fellowship. We will have
a box for donation and we encourage you to
sponsor a blanket for a child.

We will serve a light brunch and you are welcome 
to bring a plate (fruits or snacks) to the table. 
We should wrap up by 1 pm. 

Thank you and may the Lord bless you,
Grace Ganger and Pam Bakas
