Olivia's Blankets: Crafting for a Cause
by
Sissy J
Olivia's Blankets, in memory of my niece Olivia who was stillborn, is a project to support parents who have lost babies. I take receiving blankets, divide them in half, reconnect them with ribbon, & then they are packaged & distributed to labor & delivery floors of local hospitals with Sawyer's Heart memory boxes. Parents can leave one half of the blanket with their angel baby & can take one home.
I use Vistaprint to print postcards that go with each blanket.
So far 153 blankets (& counting) have been donated. The project began in 2014.

What a wonderful thing to do. Have others stepped in to help you with this great cause ? I would love to help but am too far away.

Sissy thank you for taking time to explain all this. It is so good that your project is ongoing. Thanks for sharing about that wonderful brave Mama. She has a heart of gold and it brought a lump to my throat. I shall have a look at website. Thank you :)
