What a thoughtfull way to share this Christmas. The quilts are beautiful and I know they were appreciated. My mom is in the nursing home with alzheimers and has been for probably 7 yrs now. And she and other residents are always cold. My mother will be celebrating her 91 birthday in Jan. Bless her little heart.

Kathy, you are such a great person. After the holidays, we have to get together one day. I love your new avatar too. Saw the wardens smile in the first picture. Does he smile like that at work.... :)

Who donates the material for the quilts to be made? You did a fantastic job in teaching them to quilt :thumbup:

Cool!
I don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but in nursing homes, veterans homes and hospitals - - an activities director shared this with me.
Many times, the quilts presented to the clients/residents (and the wheelchair bags, too) go home with the family because it belonged to grammy and grandpa and it is something the family embraces in their sorrow when their elder passes away.
When one realizes that one lap robe in a nursing home cheers the recipient and ripples through the family in comfort, the lap robes become more important, don't they? <wave>
