I am presently heading (by that I mean storing and moving all the bags of fabric, trims etc) a group of sewers/quilters who meet monthly to stitch together many fabrics to make our version of "Fidget Quilts"
We have named ours Textured Comfort because we use 6.5" squares of any and all different fabrics-the textures together into a 5sq. x 3rows small lap quilt.. We have made close to 300 now and have donated approximately 200 out to local nursing homes and Senior centers.
For anyone wondering how we have done this, here's how. We put out the word through our beloved LQS for donations and what we got was astonishing.
We have purchased nothing but plastic zip lock bags to hold kits. The kits are taken home by some who wish to do sew at home.
The rest are sorted and bagged by local students doing community service. We spend many Sunday afternoon sewing these wonderful quilts and have seen the pleasure and calmness brought by residents/seniors stricken with this terrible condition Alzheimer's.
Any one wishing to know more can PM me and I will happily tell you what and how.
