Exactly--so no need to sing my praises--they made me smile! They are the sweetest bunch.

Exactly!! Perfect idea!! I did one for my grandmother years ago when I didn't have as much. I even forgot to show them the single blocks!! Rachel thought they'd survive. :roll: There's many I didn't take--some Rachel has at school and so many I've given away. They would have loved Jenny's Cat's Stairway to Heaven--I'll ask her if I can take it next year.

You can just go in and chat with them--you don't need to take anything. Rachel and I have played flute duets before--but I get too nervous. :oops: :roll: Or maybe you can show them how to bake something--anything!!

I will!! I'll see her again when my students go in the play games. Jackie always plays! :D But--I'll email Kandy to relay the message, too!! I'll send this link to Kandy!

:lol: I like your picture better. :wink: There were photos of me in the horse post...in Chit-Chat. But, I'm usually behind the camera. :wink:

What a wonderful show you put on. It reminded me so much of where my Mom lived for a while. Some of the ladies had quilts in their rooms - like Jackie with the quilt her mother made for her as a baby and the quilt her mother used to sleep under.

Karla, what a wonderful thing you did. I can see the ladies looking at the quilts with such intensity and, I'm sure, admiration. I looks to me like some of them are thinking of trying to quilt again. I'm sure you gave them a great gift just by being there. Your daughter is a darned good photographer too. I have great admiration for you.

This was such a treat to share with us, but pales in comparison to the joy and smiles you brought to all those lovely faces in the photos.

I'd hug you if I saw you in person. What a touching way to share your talents and bond with some very special people.

Also, what a GREAT idea to do too!

This is SUCH a neat idea - our church has a group of ladies who make quilts AND we have a couple of nursing home minstries - maybe we should combine them and do this one day. The Home Ec teacher touched my heart. She must have been so proud!

What a great thing you did. I'm sure there were quilters among the group that most likely can't quilt any longer but still enjoy the beauty of a quilt and the feel of fabric between their fingers.
