Our guild does comfort quilts that go to the types of family/child charities noted above, but I think that is diminishing because the charities don't want them (or they go home with staff who like them vs being distributed etc). So this year we are focusing more on wheelchair quilts, walker bags etc for local nursing homes.
In that note - does anyone have a good idea for a carry bag for someone in a wheelchair that does not go on the back? We need plans/ideas/patterns for something that could be accessible by the person sitting in the wheelchair - if we put one on the side it catches in the wheels, on the back they can't reach it... I'm sure someone has the right idea????
