I am the weekend manager of a group home for mentally disabled adults and we have a sewing group on Sat nights. The ladies aren't much good (just like me) but with supervision and "hand over Hand" assistance we turn out some okay stuff. They especially enjoy my old embroidery machine. If it isn't tied down, it's embroidered at the House. They've made table runners(quilted), totes, aprons and embroidered lots of their tops. Maybe someday we'll do a real quilt together....Perhaps you could give some thought to your local group homes. It would be lovely for you to meet the residents also. They love outsider stimulus and we, the staff welcome everyone interested in jour homes.
