I did a similar project for a few years. We don't do it any more as all of the original group are deceased and the 'newbies' are more debilitated or uninterested. However, the climate may change again. What we did do as a beginning project was to make quilted caddies for their Zimmer frames, wheelchairs, walkers etc. I t was as simple as one large quilted block with some simple pockets and ties to keep it on the frames. The different colours and designs also assisted in the clients being able to recognise who owned each 'vehicle'. We then did seat cushions and totes and table - runners.The last two projects were group efforts to make quilts. One of the quilts was raffled to raise money for the 'social committee' to buy more fabric. The other one was donated to a local palliative care hospital.Good luck with your venture, I'm sure you will enjoy.
