During the month of November, RCA members decided to create handmade tied fleece blankets for various local animal shelters. The project was started during the month of November and will continue over the next 2-3 months to cover the cold period. Members discussed in a meeting how to go about it, then gathered the supplies and got to work. On November 20th, some of the members got together at the local park to continue working on some of the blankets.
The different fabrics provided different challenges. One type of fleece needed to be heat sealed as the edges started to unravel. Different techniques were used to make these blankets and different solutions were discussed to find the most efficient way to create them.
These blankets will provide comfort to the animals and will not only provide warmth during the cold winter months but will also help them with separation anxiety.
