Yeah! The Heartmade Blessings website is back in business! I say “business” but I mean the business of giving. This is one web group I joined awhile back when I was looking for organizations to crochet items for. They are an amazing group of stitchers who make comfort afghans for all kinds of people who need a hug or two. Members of the group make 12×12 inch squares in whatever patterns they want and send them to other members who assemble them into finished afghans. It takes 12 squares to make one afghan. Then there are also members who sew up tote bags for the ghans when they are given to the recipients. Some members also make 6 inch squares to be assembled into bear-ghans for children.

All of the members’ time and yarn and stitches are donated. However, what I like about this group is that even if my squares aren’t super fancy (like granny squares or just double crochet which is mainly what I do) and even if I can’t do more than a few a month, because there are so many other members participating, even my small contribution is appreciated and helpful to the larger goal of the group.

Crocheting simple squares is a wonderful way to chill in the evening with one eye on the TV, so if you have thought about donating somehow with your yarn crafting, this group may be perfect for you. To find out more about donating squares or even yarn, go to the donations page of the group’s site.
