Thank you for all of the pictures, I really enjoyed them. You do such beautiful quilts. So many people forget about our older generations, they can teach us so much. Most people don't want to take the time to learn from them.

You are truly a very remarkable and talented person.

Again thank you both for being such kindhearted women.

Wonderful show. You can tell by the looks on their faces, the interest and enjoyment of it all.

This was a great ideal. I'm in the process of TRYING to make lap quilts for my sisters' Sr. Center. I thought I only needed 8, but now am up to 12. This maybe more than I can handle, but will try anyway.
You have given me an ideal for the day I present them their on quilts. I'll try and do a show of my quilts and wall hangings.

thanks!!!!

Wow!
There are obviously some wonderful quilts in your collection; but I have to say, the pictures showing the audience really make the show!

Karla, what a wonderful event. Those ladies look so happy to be able to do this!!! Thanks so much for posting the pics.

I agree!! I told my daughter to just get the audience because the quilting forum has seen all the quilts at one time or another. I took the close-ups when she was walking the one top around...I wish I'd been behind the camera, too. She was too hesitant to get close or move around. :wink:

Karla, what a wonderful idea ! Sure looks as if some of those folks were really enjoying themselves....and so interested. maybe one -or more- of them will become quilters, thanks to you. My Mom , 88, lives in a retirement home and works on her quilts every day; that hobby is a blessing for her, keeps both her mind and her fingers nimble ....

What a wonderful thing to do. I worked as an Activity Director in a nursing home and it was so very hard to find activities designed to keep the residents interest. I wish I had thought of this.
It's also a wonderful idea to have some "for sale" items. Many are homebound and unable to get out to buy gifts for family and friends. This was a great opportunity. I would have Avon ladies come in and the women went wild buying cosmetics. I wish I quilted back then and knew of someone as thoughtful as you are.
