4 4 4-H Layers of Love Terrebonne 4-H Members have been doing a great job growing leaders through community service. We are encouraging you to continue to make a positive change in our community by participating in our 4-H Layers of Love drive. We are asking each school 4-H club to make one (or more) fleece blanket to donate. The blankets will be donated to cancer patients. Follow these simple steps as a club to make a fleece blanket: Supplies: 1 yd of fleece for the top 1 yd of fleece for the bottom 1 pair of scissors 1 popsicle stick or index card straight pins - optional Instructions 1. You will need two pieces of equal size, which will then be tied together with knots. You can use the same fabric for both front and back, or you can choose complimentary or contrasting fabrics for a reversible blanket. 2. Place one piece of fabric face down and one face up. Line them up and trim the edges so that both pieces are even. Separate the pieces of fleece. 3. In each corner of the two pieces, measure a 3" x 3" box. Mark the box using chalk or pins. Cut out this box, notching each corner in the same manner on both blankets. Discard the boxes, or save for another project. (optional step) 4. Make a guide out of a notecard that is three or four inches long and one inch wide. (A large popsicle stick is a great guide as well. Use this guide to cut even slits around the entire edge of both pieces of fleece. Cut the slits perpendicular to the edge of the quilt, three inches deep (or four inches for a larger blanket) into the fabric from the edges, and one inch wide apart. 5. Lay the two pieces of fleece on top of each other, right sides out. Take a slit from one piece of fleece and tie it to the slit on the other piece of fleece that's directly beneath it. Double knot it securely, but don't tie too tightly or you may damage the slit. Continue tying slits together all the way around the blanket until both pieces of fleece are joined. Check the web for more instructions if needed. Search no-sew fleece blankets. Be Creative! Please do not add embellishments such as buttons, glitter, beads, or sequence. Iron-on s and embroidery are OK. Tags: Roll up the blanket and attach a tag with a ribbon or other material. Please do not use safety pins to attach the tag. Your tag should have a nice friendly message with your school name and 4-H emblem. Blankets are due to the 4-H office by, * We will also collect the small blankets you can buy for a low cost at most stores. The more blankets we get the more smiles we will see.
