Seeing that one of my Italian grandmothers was a seamstress in New York City, one would believe that the sewing genes would have rubbed off on me. However, this was not the case. So when I heard about the "No-Sew" fleece blankets that were made on January 31, I was a little disappointed that I missed it. Fear not because this upcoming Wednesday, there will be a repeat gathering at the Conservancy to make even more of these useful and colorful blankets.

Taught by Gwen Lyall, these blankets took about an hour or so to make. Aren't they fantastic? When Joan dropped the blankets off at Bluffton Self-Help, it was in the middle of that cold snap we just endured and they couldn't have been more appreciative. So we decided to go ahead and schedule another "class'; this time, the materials will be provided to make a total of ten blankets. All you need to do is bring your scissors and show up next Wednesday (February 22) at 2 pm in the Conservancy where the tables are perfect for spreading out the fabric. We are looking for twenty people (2 per blanket) so that we can complete our goal of ten. Please come and learn a new skill as well as helping those in need.
