Got a gift certificate for Christmas, yarn here I come. Use to be fabric, but my hands have gotten to clumsy from arthur, for me to quilt any more. I barely get a button sewed on now, and have to hold my crochet needle like a small child learning to eat, but at least I still have something I can do.

Edged several of the grand and great grands fleece blankets, 3 are Gator fans, and our friend who had the double stroke got a US NAVY one he sits under.

Wish they’d invent a instrument to poke holes in fleece, had to use a nut picker my husband stuck in a wooden handle when the sharpened ice pick failed to go through it...but puppy teeth go right through it.

Train that puppy! ("Bite right here, that's a good little doggie...")

Check out the ‘leather tools’ at Hobby Lobby. I’m sure you can find something that punches holes in leather, and it would work like a charm for the fleece to put a large enough hole in it to do a blanket stitch, or even a single or double crochet stitch.
