How about a shoulder type poncho. Not sure that's what it's called saw one posted. Anyway it's like a throw that hangs in the front with 2 sides. Can't think. But something like that with couple pockets in front for a few things like glasses or tissues, change. With being in a wheelchair some of the pockets are on the back and they can't reach them. Like a vest or something. Like cutting up donated (gently used sweatshirts) and putting pockets on the front. Hope someone know what I'm talking about.

And pretty pillow cases for their everyday pillows that they sleep on, they sew up quickly (especially the way The YouTube video from Missouri Star Quilt Co. teaches them). They would be easy and fun for quick projects.

Our senior center makes placemats that are given to Meals in Wheels to distribute. We do spring and Christmas. Tote bags for our Womens resource center (for battered women and children). They often come with only a plastic bag for their belongings. Quilts for the homeless shelter. Eye glass cases for the hospital to use.( Made from a 7" square of felt).We are always looking for more ideas too.

Wow. no one thought of Christmas ornaments. There are so many kind, however I was thinking of the ones where you fold the fabric & arrange them so it looks like a quilt block. There have been many on QB, The Ornament Girl has a web site with many including directions.

How about the little fabric boxes. Those who can, can sew. Those who don't sew with machines can add the buttons.
