What a great idea, AUQuilter, I have bookmarked this for Christmas gifts to a nursing home that took such great care of my dear MIL until her death.

I want to thank you, Linda Renfroe for bringing up this subject. We saw so many residents in the home that never had visitors. It wasn't that their family members were neglecting them, it was that they didn't have family members. This particular nursing home had super volunteers that made lap quilts & crocheted shawls etc, to keep the residents warm.
