We make blankets and give them away to children who are in need of comfort.

HireAHelper is a New Sponsor For 2022-2023

Cassandra Rosas at Hire a Helper contacted us to ask about sponsorship. I love that we are linking to their MOVING page. I think about when quilters and crafters have to move and the nightmare of keeping it all organized, protected, and then putting everything back in it's NEW place. I've heard stories from enough fabric donors - tales of stashes of fabrics going back decades. As people get older, downsize, or perhaps they have passed and their families have to deal with everything, Hire a Helper can take that load off the family.

Court-Ordered Hours Change Lives

Remote community service hours verifiedYou’ve heard it on the news and in the classroom; “get out there and help your community.” But sometimes, “getting out there” is easier said than done. Many of us have people and things to care for within our own homes, and can’t always run the charity marathon or volunteer at the library. If you’re like Samantha Hood, you still want to help others despite the needs keeping us home. And what better way to help others from the comfort of your home than by providing comfort to those outside your home. Simply put, Binky Patrol is an organization that changes lives, and you can help out from your couch. All you need is a pair of scissors and a few big pieces of fleece.

Easy Strip Pieced Blanket

This is our signature binky for events. Easy to cut, easy to sew. We typically cut 8 - 10 six inch strips and sew them together for a top. Then we cut a back larger. Putting batting in between to match the top and create a frame around the top.. Great fast beginner pattern.
