12 Pure Comfort Wraps are done!!!
 
7 Attachment(s)
Several months ago, someone posted a link to "Pure Comfort Wraps". I talked w/my DSIL (she works at an assisted living facility) and we decided to make them for Christmas for some of the residents that didn't have anyone that visited them. We needed 12. So, my cousin (made 1 2/3), her daughter (made 5), my DSIL (made 3 1/3), and I (made 2)decided to do this. I quilted all 12, and my DSIL bound all of them. So here are some of our pics.

They are beautiful! What a special caring thing you have done in the true meaning of Christmas!

Do I assume correctly that the split in the quilt allows it to go around the person's neck and cascade down the front? What a loving, careing thing to do! Merry Christmas!

Yes. We enlarged it. We tried the first one on and the one on the pattern wasn't comfortable.

This is was a nice thoughtful gesture for you all to do. It makes me sad to see the elderly who have no one to see about them. You will be blessed for reaching out to them. Thanks for sharing.

How kind and loving of you all!

I'd never seen a "comfort wrap" - they look to be so pretty and practical. Did you have a commercial pattern from which you worked? I think this may be my new charity project to use up my short lengths of strips that I have left over from other projects. Thanks so much for posting the photos.

what a wonderful thing to do, I may start checking out some of the homes locally to do the same thing. Just to give someone a little comfort when they have no family fills your heart with joy

What a kind thing to do in the true spirit of Christmas. Could you share your directions please?

I have never seen these comfort wraps but it is a wonderful and very practical idea, especially for somone in a wheelchair. I will have to make one for my Dad who is an Alzheimer patient. Thank you for sharing.
