The Joy of Service!!

Last Wednesday I had my girls Sunday school class over for the evening. They wanted to make a fleece baby blanket for a woman in our church. She was very special to them and at 47 years old just had a baby girl. They wanted to participate so I thought doing a fleece tie blanket would be just perfect for them. I found the fleece and I embroidered a signature square for them on the solid side as well as a sweet bear with the baby's name on it. That is all I did. They did the rest, the measuring, cutting and tying. They even made sure they tied the strips so they would contrast. They all participated and were so happy when it was done. We will be presenting this to baby Sophia and her mom in a couple of weeks! They can't wait. I had so much fun just chatting with my girls, taking pictures and eating chocolate chip cookies!!!

    Hi Susie, that blanket looks so so cute! Great idea. And respect to the lady who is having a baby girl at the age of 47. Takes a lot of strength.

    One Christmas my girls and I made a ton of these and embroidered them. They are the cutest and the most snugly blankets around.
