Yes, I've heard of this, and you could check with your local hospitals or hospices, and they will guide you. I make Project Linus blankets. When my Dad was dying, I spent the nights on a cot in the hospital. I was making a no sew tied fleece blanket for PL. I'd lay it across his bed and he would watch me. Dad died three years ago, and I was never able to donate that blanket. I gave it to my granddaughter, who sleeps with her "Grampie Blanket" every night.
