I bought some fleece fabric to make no sew fleece blankets for my girls and my sponsored children. Here are the instructions, if you would like to know how: http://www.allkindsofbabystuff.com/no_sew_fleece_blankets.html So, I bought several yards of fabric. On Friday night, I started on this soccer ball blanket for Henry, and I finished it up on Saturday morning. I have several other cute prints that I am doing for all of the girls, but I don't have the time to do it right now. I hope to have some free time during the week this week because this is something that I really enjoy doing for ME! Plus, I get to surprise all of the kids with a handmade blanket. The idea popped into my head when I heard about an organization called Project Linus. It is a group of people that get together to make quilts and blankets for needy children (children in the hospital, homeless, etc). Here is the link to that organization, if you are interested: http://www.projectlinus.org/ In fact, it doesn't cost any money to participate. The organization already has donated fabric, and you can pick up quilt squares to put together a quilt at home. Then, you bring the blanket back to them for distribution. Of course, the fleece blankets that I am doing are not for Project Linus, but I thought I could get in some practice making these. I may wind up helping out this organization, too, when I am done making these other blankets. It is 100% non-profit, so it's nice to know there isn't some "big guy" over the organization making money off of your hard work. I will post more pictures of the blankets as I finish.
