Holy Needles is joining forces with another ministry group at Casas Church!
We will now be creating lap blankets... yep, lap blankets. The same size as the infant blankets, a 1-yard square. The fleece from Polartec will also be used to create lap blankets for the homebound program at Casas Church, called Rhoring On (named after founder). (The homebound are in private homes, group homes, and/or assisted nursing facilities.) Since the fleece is 70" wide, a one yard piece will make 2 blankets. If you would like to be involved with this project, come to a Holy Needles meeting and cut yourself some fleece!
We also have knit & cotton blend fabric, as well as yarn, that can be used to create lap blankets. It's all been donated, for your use, for creating with your busy helping hands!
Remember, some of the homebound are in wheelchairs, so it's important not to create anything that might get caught on a wheelchair or other medical equipment.
Please share your ideas & enjoy the joy of giving to others!!
(we are hoping that some generous soul can embroider Casas Church to the lap blankets)
Holy Needles was formed in March 2009. We crochet, knit, sew, and quilt matching beanies, booties, and blankets for newborns of families in need, blankets, hats and scarves for homeless, blankets for chemo patients, pillowcases for children in transition, and prayer shawls are created to provide comfort for emotionally needy. Our items are distributed at local hospitals, the VA, other groups, and charitable organizations in Tucson, AZ. Our goal is to gracefully meet the needs of the needy.
