If
you
are
isolated
at
home
why
not
join
us
in
making
sure
that
something
good
comes
out
of
the
current
situation?
We
are
planning
to
keep
ourselves
busy
by
either
knitting
or
sewing
squares
which
will
then
be
made
into
lap
blankets
or
quilts
for
the
residents
of
homes
such
as
Hunters
Down.Please
use
the
following
instructions for your squares.
We chose three simple stitches for our knitted squares. In different colours they would make a
cheerful blanket.

Patchwork blocks. Cut 9 x 6" squares to make a block. See together with a
quarter inch seam so that you have 3 rows with 3 squares in each row.Then sew
the 3 rows together to make a 17 1/2" square.
