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>
