Making blankets for the elderly...

Every year my church has a National "Day of Service" where each congregation does charity work for a different member of the community. Last year we had the pleasure of having a fund raiser for the people of Haiti! This year, we are collecting lap blankets, shawls and walker bags for an elderly home here in Clermont. As we still are a little low on blankets, I asked the Diva's if we could do a side project this week. We made fleece lap blankets!


Supplies:

1.25 yards of two different pieces of fleece (2.50 yards total)
Scissors or fabric cutter
*****************************************************************
Goofy me, forgot to take photos while we were going...so here are the instructions! :D

1. lay the fleece on the floor or cutting table, one piece on top of the other
2. Cut a small 4x4 inch square out of each corner
3. Cut 1inch strips along the edges
4. Double knot the strips to unite both pieces of fabric

That's it!!! So easy and ultra comfy! :D
