Once in the medical center/nursing home area, we moved Mom's calendar quilts into her room, but it was sad to see when she couldn't remember to change them out anymore.
It is hard to watch them go down hill. I agree, it shows some creativity. Mom was the one who taught me to sew. Mom loves to have something on her door. The other residents enjoy seeing what is hanging there so I change them often. They are fun to make.
