I love this idea! My father was in an assisted living and was very confused at times and I think this would be a great comfort for those like him. Do you want regular granny squares or fancy ones, does it matter? I'm not a granny square person but I'm slowly turning a corner in that direction (especially with the new book - I think we both have!). Thanks for doing this - it's really special!💓
oh yeah!!! It doesn't matter, whatever you can put together, Fancy or Simple! it's really the thought that counts!! I'll put them all together and make it work!! XX Kim
I love this! Back in the 70's, I worked in a nursing home for a couple years. Later on, I worked 8 years as a medical massage therapist in an assisted living facility. This is a wonderful project, and I will be happy to make granny squares for you.
This warms my heart so - the seniors will absolutely love this. It will surely bring extra comfort physically, emotionally & mentally to many of them. Bless you for doing this. Wish I lived closer to help you stitch them all together, as I have a feeling you will receive many squares!
I luv this idea. I use to be a part of a group through my job at lowes where we would do volunteer projects we redid a garden and outdoor visiting area and to see the smiles on the faces when it was done just brought me so much joy. I'll be sending some squares your way soon.
This is such a great idea! It might be worth specifying that you'd prefer machine washable yarn for them though, because I know some scraps can't go in the washer, so just to make sure the blankets are easy care, if that makes sense?
What a wonderful idea and how kind of you to think of our seniors. I will definitely try to participate. I have never made a granny square but there’s always a first time.🥰
Oh thank you! They are really so easy to make! I did a tutorial awhile back, here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/pe8-bUCShOw/v-deo.htmlsi=YhnkfjB2BIgpMWhE
I'm going to send you a little batch tomorrow. Some have an end, but they are hexagons so I left a fairly long end just in case it can help when sewing them together. It's just one end, and if next time you'd rather not have that long end, you can let me know. I also am including a couple short, sweet cards. Hope it's all what you're looking for. 💝
I'm in, I'm in, I'm in!! Can I send sunburst hexagons that are 6 sided and 5" across? If not I can do something else, but I will definitely send you something. I'm one of your sort of "older" viewers and anything I can do to help these folks during this transition, I'm willing to do. I would even be willing to write some little notes. Just let me know. What a great idea, Kimberly!
Yay, yay, yay!!! Ill work with hexagons, absolutely! And I LOVE the idea of a little note of love!! Ill make sure that the notes stay with the appropriate blanket!! XX Kim
Just found this video. Are you still collecting granny squares? Do you need colors for men also? Do you want traditional grannies or any that are square 4×4? Before my mom passed she would get pneumonia to go to the hospital and then to assisted living and eventually back home. Thank you

Thank you so much!! My mom is so excited and she is already rallying her troops to sew...but I'll be sewing a lot on upcoming lives! ;) XX Kim
What a sweet project!

Welcome back! That's such a beautiful thing to do. I'll happily crank out some squares.
Yay! Thank you so much! XX Kim

Absolutely! I mentioned acrylic and cotton, and I'll sorry them out, but that's good to mention.😁
That is such a sweet idea
