Hand-crafted
Crocheted 100 Flag Blanket ‘Flying The Flag’ – Charity Listing.
This stunning,
one-of-a-kind, heirloom blanket was crocheted by members of the SIBOL -
‘Sunshine International Blankets of Love’ group who makes
blankets for the Elderly. Members of this International group knit
or crochet squares and send them to the co-ordinator, who then
crochets them together into blankets which are distributed to the Elderly in Nursing
Homes. What a lovely idea! This particular blanket was made by group
members in the USA and UK ‘a fantastic joint-effort’. Our work has been recognised by many craft magazines for the dedication of the group members and quality of blankets made.
All proceeds from this
Blanket will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Society in the UK.
Alzheimer’s disease
is the most common cause of dementia, affecting around 496,000 people
in the UK.
Each of the 100 squares
on this special blanket, lovingly nicknamed ‘Flying the Flag’
shows a variety of Flags of all nations. It is brand new,
beautifully hand-crafted in Crochet and is made in various colourful
Acrylic yarn to depict each Country’s Flag.
The Blanket is roughly
63” inches Square (163cm), machine washable and it will arrive specially
presented in the style of all SIBOL items and includes a card
detailing the members’ names who made the Blanket.
I have put a reserve on
this item of £250.00 to reflect the huge amount of work and the fact
that this is a unique blanket and is something to cherish.
As it is a Charity
item, this sale is non-refundable.
Due to the weight of this blanket, we are only offering post within the UK.
