| A segment of our Pickering Ward Relief Society |
Recently, the Pickering Ward Relief Society had a service project evening where were made blankets for charity.
 |
| Busy cutting the felt fabric |
We made simple tied quilts out of felt material squares.

These turn into colorful, warm individual lap blankets.
 |
| Spreading out on the floor makes it easier |
These quilts are easy to make, and a lot of fun to make as well!
 |
| Janette, Laurel and Adria |
It always feels good to participate in these service projects.
 |
| Laurel is our Relief Society President |
We had a good group turn out to do the work.
 |
| The cutting of the fabric is the trickiest part of this project |
You only need two 2-foot squares of felt material and a pair of good scissors to make these blankets.
 |
| Maria Elena and Judy had fun |
You start by cutting out a 4-inch square out of each corner.
 |
| We all had fun! |
Then you slice even strips of fabric along the edges that are then neatly tied.
 |
| Evangeline and Adria |
It's something even I can do!
 |
| Ellen B. and I worked on two quilts together |
I sure love these ladies.
 |
| We hammed it up a little for the camera! |
In about an hour and a half we managed to create an amazing amount of quilts!

Adria had her arms full (below) putting these colorful quilts away in the Relief Society cupboard. This was only half of what we completed in one evening! Once they have been laundered they will be donated to charity.
Sadly, Adria and her husband have moved to Utah since this fun evening! (We miss you, Adria!)

All the tied quilts will go to Whittier Presbyterian Hospice patients. I wish the recipients could know what a lot of love went into each of them.
