Got that covered k3n--Rachel will do a photo shoot. I was thinking though--there won't be much to take photos of--just me holding up different stuff--boring. Plus--you have seen them all at one time of another. I will tell her to try to get the residents.
Another thing I thought of--while doing chores--is to take extra blocks so pass around so they could feel and see them? There are many extras of the floral and others....
I wonder how they'll like those wild pillowcases I made last summer. :lol:

Hi Karla. Before I read further down the post I was thinking to also share about what inspired you to make each piece. Also any mishaps you may have had along the way...In any event you all will have a memorable time! You sharing, and them ooohing & Awwwwing. Enjoy yourself!

If you'd like to make more work for yourself, then make a card for each one saying the name of the quilt, the pattern/block name, techniques used, date made.
If you have the time and interest, consider starting a quilting circle there, giving beginner lessons as needed.

Oh gosh Lisanne--no way I have time for that... nice idea though. :D
I tried starting a writer's group at one assisted living place--but none of them would do their homework! I told them if they were in my class I'd put them all on detention. :wink: My grandmother warned me that would happen. :lol:
I'm back from kayaking--took 140 photos! I'll post them in chit-chat later...

I know you will have a wonderful time doing your one woman show! :lol:
Just a note though is to count before and after! If you could, number each piece to make sure you have them all. Little accidents happen and I would hate for you to not return with all your pieces.
Having some sample blocks for them to see the front and the back is a really great idea, from a teachers point of view! :lol:

Good luck and have fun! Let us know how it turned out.

Saw those photos - just beautiful! I was in the Finger Lakes area last February and hope to make it back in the summer someday.

Karla, you will have a great time and you won't be lost for words.
You'll be treating this "adventure" just like you do when they come to visit the horses.
Have a wonderful time and I know those seniors will too!
