Check out Sue Spargo at suepargo.com. She has done some lovly quilts using wool. I have seen a couple of quilts done with tarten in the Quiltmania magazine as well a 2 done at a quilt show here in Ontario.

That is what I was going to suggest. That way she can really use it and show it off :thumbup:

she has two lap quilts already. one of fleece and another one that a lady from church has made her. I don't think that she has ever used either. the shawl idea is a good one. she might use that. maybe but probably not. maybe I will ask her if she would like something made from the tartan fabric. it is a lovely fabric.

I can't tell you exactly where I saw it, but it was a pattern for a bag that attaches to a wheelchair. I thought it seemed like a very useful item. Maybe try Googling it?

I'd go with the shawl. Lap pads have a habit of sliding off, not good if you are in a wheelchair, but, older people get chilly, and a shawl to wrap around the shoulders is bound to feel good. Plus, if she doesn"t use the shawl, or even if she does, the same wool can later be made into something else as a warm memory.

why don't you make a lap quilt out of it

I got a double post, hummm

have fun with it, would be cool for a lap quilt
