For kids

Our church is going to do a ministry to make quilts and blankets for kids taken from their homes in situations of meth abuse or domestic matters. We are trying to get a couple of options together for when we start this. A friend recommended these little fleece throws.

Very easy and no sewing. And fleece is pretty cheap.

You simply cut a four inch square from each corner (after you cut off the selvages) and cut four inch strips. The strips are individually tied with a knot. Easy peasey.



Another option we are doing is kids t-shirt quilts. We are using donated or thrifted t-shirts, using both sides, and we plan to tie them with yarn.

The plan is to fill a bag with a stuffed animal, a blanket or quilt, and maybe pajamas, that can be given to each child in need. There may be other things added to the bags such as toiletry items.
