Just a note though is to count before and after! If you could, number each piece to make sure you have them all. Little accidents happen and I would hate for you to not return with all your pieces. It takes a lot of packing for the bigger items. Goodness--I'm using clear kitchen garbage bags and five clothes baskets... Hubby might stay home if it doesn't rain... so much to do here with the lawn. If it rains--he's coming. :wink: |
Waiting for PICS
I am sure you had an awesome time :D :D |
It's not till 2:00--it's only 10:50 here. :wink:
Everything is packed--over 50 items not for sale and about the same for sale--mostly small stuff.... |
The residents will love it, and some will have stories of their own about sitting with their grandmas, mothers, or friends and quilting by the lantern light.
When I went to where my Mom lived, I brought along a few friends & we made up a few "cheater" panels and sat out and let a few of them do some stitching. We only did a show & tell not a sale so was different than what you'll be up to. It's wonderful that you're giving these special people a "treat" today, hope it all works out well for you. |
I always think the "back story" is fun - tidbits they may not know about a block, how it came about, or a quilt...how you made it, who it was for, why....
|
Oh--I have three old quilts I think my great-grandmother made--they'll LOVE those. One's a yo-yo pattern. And I have the quilt I loved as a child--and the first quilt I ever made--funny story to go with that. And the quilt I made for my grandmother. And I think I have a blooper story for every piece! :lol:
I hope they share stories!! |
It went great! I'll post details with photos later--I need to head to the barn. I guess the post should go to Pictures... look for them there tonight. :D

What a wonderful idea :!: The residents must love it :lol:

You have a kind, good heart to take the time for these people in the nursing home. They're so hungry for anything that takes away the dull long hours when they're there.
I have a three-pound poodle who is a certified Therapy Dog and when we go to visit, we have such a hard time leaving. I sometimes feel selfish about it because I know that I get more out of it than anyone. God Bless You for what you're doing. |
