We invite you, your family and friends to join our Annual No-Sew Fleece Blanket Making Fellowship. The blankets that we make will keep many hearts and bodies warm this winter. This is a great community service project as we share the love of Jesus simply through the warmth of a fleece blanket!
We will meet on Saturday, October 20th at 10 AM in the Fellowship Hall. We should finish by 1 PM.For first timers, we will show you how to make the no-sew blankets, no experience needed!
Or you can purchase Fleece Blanket Kits from Joann . You can also sign up for coupons.Tools and materials needed to make the blanket:-----------------------------—————-----------------------
1. a pair of sharp fabric scissors
2. sewing pins or safety pins
3. blue painter's tape
4. Two pieces of matching fleece that is 48 inches x 60 inches or 72 inches x 60 inches.
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 voluntary donation and we encourage you to sponsor a blanket.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.
*** Update ***
This year, we will be donating the blankets to the residents of the Care Center at Westchester Senior Living. Westchester is operated by Volunteers of America, a Christian non profit organization that has multiple programs for the poor, homeless, veterans, elderly and other vulnerable populations. They operate over two dozen Senior Care centers; Westchester being one of them. We will have a program of Christmas carols, a short message and then distribution of blankets and interaction with the residents on Dec 8. More details will be available later.
Thank you and may the Lord bless you,Grace Ganger and Pam Bakason behalf of Patchwork Sisters
