Hello Friends. Now that Halloween is over we can concentrate on Thanksgiving!!! It is a time to thankful in our lives for our blessings. So gather some fabric and scissors and make a Coco for a deserving child in the hospital so they can be thankful for you!

Just takes 1 1/2 yards of two different fleece fabric and scissors and about an hour. Then wash in hot water and dry and keep away from any germs. I will accept blankets until second week of December.

(You can check out Youtube.com for videos of how to make a tie blanket. There is also one at the very beginning of this page.)
