I'm sorry to here your FIL had to go to a nursing home but glad you found such a quaint, caring one! And happier still that you are doing such a wonderful project that will benefit so many people!
Baby quilts are a nice idea, but I was also thinking of having them make lap quilts for the members of the nursing home. As everyone knows, older people feel the cold more.
By making lap quilts they would be able to use their treasures, plus be able to see them all the time. Once they have made one for themselves, they could make additional ones and "raffle" them off to other members of the nursing home.
My suggestion here would be to draw names in a type of contest, however once a person wins, their name is removed until all have received a quilt.
I can just picture a couple of months from now, hundreds of lap quilts as you walk down halls and into the common rooms!
:-P :-P :-P
This would allow all the members to see their quilts daily and give a more homey atmosphere to the place.
This is just like you Billy doing such a caring thing for others. Your shoulders must weigh a ton with all of those angel wings you have collected!
God Bless You and all your new friends at the nursing home!
:-D :-D :-D :thumbup:
