WOW! Holy Needler's are off & running with creating lap blankets for the homebound/elderly! Holy Needles is involved in a joint venture with the Rohring On Homebound ministry at Casas Church. When someone visits a 'homebound' Casas member, in a private home, a group home, or an assisted living facility, they can gift the person with a lap blanket.
Besides lap blankets (as seen in the prior blog entries), Holy Needler's can also create/decorate shawls, which can do double duty as a lap blanket as well.
Our member, Joyce, has altered a pattern to create a nice looking, functional shawl/blanket! Thank you Joyce!
Come join us at a Holy Needles meeting, or work strictly from home if you can't make a meeting... grab a piece of fleece and decorate it as you wish. Edge with a nice blanket stitch, or create a nice single crochet edge, or bind the edge in fabric, or combine fleece with other fabric, or ??? ... you are free to use your creative mind!
These items for homebound will also have a Casas Church label sewn on them. Thank you to Cecilia, who will be machine embroidering Casas Church for us, creating sew-on patches!
Joyce is busy laying her pattern on a cut piece of fleece.
Joyce is busy, busy, busy working on cutting the fleece. She cut out at least 10 shawl/blankets, and with the remaining pieces, she will create about 40 scarves for donation to Samaritan's Purse worldwide programs!
