Loving Hands Blankets
Loving Hands Blankets, LLC was started in August 2006 by
Longmont
residents Jan Jones and Dotti Kipp. They both shared a desire to use their sewing skills to bring comfort and encouragement to others. The mission of Loving Hands Blankets, LLC is to use the handmade signature blankets to spread God's love one handprint at a time.
The idea for the blankets came about when Jan’s youngest daughter left home. Jan realized that her daughter would be living on her own and would miss the hugs and loving touch of her parents. The blankets use the outlines of the hands of family and friends and the messages they write to convey their love to the recipient. It is amazing what warm feelings come from having the hands of friends and family surround you when you are wrapped up in a Loving Hands blanket. Dotti received one of the blankets from close friends for her birthday and knew that others would want to experience that same feeling of love from dear friends. Jan was also surprised to receive a Loving Hands Blanket from coworkers at the City of
Longmont
when she retired to focus on the company’s growth. Since its beginning, over 140 blankets have been given as gifts and sent throughout the
USA
.
Loving Hands Blankets are custom, hand-made keepsake blankets that are made of 100% cotton, flannel and muslin with a thin inner layer of cotton or polyester batting. The blankets can be given as gifts for new babies, birthdays, graduations, weddings, anniversaries, and many other occasions, or they can be designed for someone who is ill or in need of comfort.
Each unique, one-of-a-kind blanket features a center satin-stitched design that is a heart with a set of hands representing God’s hands, a verse from Scripture or a desired sentiment, and the recipient’s name embroidered across the hands.
“My very dear friend gave me a Loving Hands Blanket. The way it makes my heart feel is indescribable. Some of my other friends traced their hands on it and signed it for me. What a feeling it is when people really care! These blankets are top quality and made with the love of God. I highly recommend these blankets for everyone.” ~ R.B.

"I received this Loving Hands quilt from a dear friend at a hard time in my life. Family and friends wrote their sentiments and signed their names to the quilt and on the cold wintry days I was isolated in my home due to surgery and recovery period, I wrapped myself in it and felt their love and encouragement all around me. A wonderful gift to be given to a loved one or to be received from a loved one!" ~ D.M.
