survey
Hi all,
In northeast OH where I live people are going crazy making "no sew-two sided-polar fleece blankets. My question is this a local thing or are they as popular every where? Thanks Ilene |

I was picking up some interfacing at Walmart the other
day and the two customers in front of me had big stacks of bolts of fleece. That's what they were doing. The fleece is selling like hotcakes.

What I wonder is why anyone would make a *double* layered fleece blanket!
One layer of that stuff is pretty warm! Besides, it's tres' expensive!! All of that being siad -- they are doing it here in Magnoliaville (aka Atlanta) too. Mostly, I think it's because Joanns had a sale on the "kits" which consist of lengths of two coordinated fleece fabrics. Then they had demonstrations on how to make the blankets. I must *really* be an elitist snob because I honestly didn't see why anyone who could cut their own meant and who could tie their own shoelaces needed lessons on how to cut the fabric into fat fringes and then tie them together :-))! CiaoMeow ^;;^ .. PAX, Tia Mary ^;;^ Queen of Kitties Angels can't show their wings on earth but nothing was ever said about their WHISKERS!! Nothing is complete without a few cat hairs! |

Tia Mary, I made a lovely fleece knee rug for my Auntie by using a layer of fleece and a layer of pretty printed wintella (thin brushed cotton). It was plenty warm enough and just the right dainty thing for an elderly lady! I didn't fringe the rug, but stitched the layers together and then blanket stitched them by hand using perle cotton. Now, my Auntie's passed away and I wonder who wound up with the rug I made her... -- Trish {|:-} Newcastle, NSW, Australia |

I don't know a soul here in Los Angeles that is making these, tho everyone I
know north of here (I have friends & family spread all along the west coast) is turning them out like hotcakes. I would have thought it was a climate thing, if not for the previous poster in Texas! The major trend here is knitting...long, long, long scarves. I don't knit, but then, I don't really fit in here, anyway;o) -- Kyla (de-lurking out of boredom...up at 3AM with sleep-resisting kiddos!) http://www.Hippobottomus.com Hi all, In northeast OH where I live people are going crazy making "no sew-two sided-polar fleece blankets.
