I just looked for a fun idea I wanted to do for each month. The only one I used a paper pieced pattern for was the heart. The others I made up as I went or used a cute fussy cut fabric for.

Tartan, I showed your Welcome sign to my hubby. He really liked it so I am making a set for his mother and mother for Christmas. Very clever idea because it can be personalized.

Door hangers are a great idea!

Tartan, Those are adorable and perfect for each month.

Another free pattern that can be changed with the seasons.

Great plan to update every month, relieves boredom with same old, same old and she’ll get sweet compliments on it. Mothers are so very special and almost daily it’s “wish I could ask Mom” or “that’s something I should tell Mom”.

This conversation brings back memories for me. Door decor was important to my mom. I joked to mom "maybe she didn't want door decor up anymore?" "Oh no... That's how I know where I live." She was right, it was true, she was having more frequent and longer spells of confusion and dementia, it probably was more difficult for her to differentiate which was her door, they all do look alike. I was able to find mom cute door decor at JoAnn's or Michaels.

I made things to hang on a wall by her bed for my Aunt while she was in a nursing home. Machine embroidered her name on each item. She loved them and looked forward to each one.

What a great idea for a nursing home door. I like to change out a welcome type hanging on my screened front porch every month or so, and found the Patchabilities patterns quick and easy and they seem to have one for every interest and season. I don't have any connection to them except just love their little patterns. Here is a link to their website in case you don't want to develop your own patterns.
