My grandson is a special needs child and I wanted to make some quilts for his classmates that ride the bus. Something small enough for them to have on their laps when they ride the bus so they will stay warm. In Michigan, we can have some sub-zero temps!
Since i'm new to quilting, I recruited my sister and niece who are also new to quilting to help me so we could have these ready by the end of September. We each have a boy and girl quilt to do. I chose Lance and Emily. My grandson Kayden seems to be really attached to both of them. I had the teacher paint their hand and put the print on some fabric. It is the center piece of the quilt and I will embroider their name and the year on it. This quilt is for "Lance". He is a seriously impaired child who LOVES dogs and smiles everytime he see's Kayden. The second quilt (pink) is for Anaya, made by my niece Maryann. Anaya is a sweetie and this quilt is totally fitting of her personality. The third quilt is for Jauann and made by my sister Linda. He is a very inquisitive child and will love all the bright colors on this quilt. 3 quilts down, 4 more to go! Thanks for looking!

My daughter has spina bifida - she has received two quilts, much simpler than those you & your family have made. We love them very much, regardless. You're doing a lovely mission!
|
very cute quilts and for a great cause! They should keep warm with those!

What a sweetheart you all are for doing this for the kids. A great idea. The quilts are so fun looking. I love the idea of the handprint and putting their names on them.
Thank you for doing this for them. They'll love all of you for this. |
These are all darling! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing :thumbup:

That's so neat. U might want to put their names and school on a label so if they lose it hopefully they can be returned to them.

Quilts do indeed brighten up the long days for the kids! |
What a nice thing for you girls to do! The kids will love their quilts. Are you putting their names on their quilts so they don't get them mixed up? The quilts are very nice.
|
Very pretty quilts, I am sure the kids will love them. So good of all of you to thank of them.
|
Such a wonderful thing you are all doing for the children. This is so special and I am sure they will be treasured.

That is very thoughtful of you. The kids will love them.
|
Pretty quilts. That will be a big help for them this winter.
|
You are so thoughtful. Great job on all of the quilts.
|
How sweet! What a great idea. Children with special needs have a special kind of love to give and that warm hug of a quilt is a wonderful way to love them back. Kudos!!
p.s. I love the colors you have chosen especially the dacshund print since my "baby" is a mini dacshund named Ava. |
Wonderful!! Beautiful!!!!! what a wonderful thing to do. THe kids are going to love them.

What a wonderful gift for all of these kids. They are all great.
|
Great idea! I'm sure the kids will lve them.
|
What beautiful gifts you and your family are making and the joy your are giving! I have a little guy with special needs too and I believe he is pure, untarnished by the world around! His name is Jonathan and although he 16 he looks more like 9 and is developmentally more about the 2-3 range. Thanks for sharing...you lifted my heart today!
|
What a great idea!! I have found that the "special needs" children are so special and loving - they will most certainly appreciate their quilts. Also These kids bring out the best in us and allows us to show our love and support. You and your family are doing a great thing!!! Just goes to show that the little ones have a gift of bringing people together and brings out the best in all of us!!
While all of them are great quilts I really like #2. I really like that each quilt is personalized. Their families will be touched that you all hae thought of the needs of their kids. Thanks soo much for sharing. |
very nice love um.....

Blessing to you all for what you do. Before I thought about quilting (or maybe it was there and I didn't see it), I made an elephant "quilt" for a little boy who had been badly burned and was bed ridden for a long time. Now, at 44yrs he still comes by to see me and still talks about that rag. They will remember your kindness and those quilts will be in their hearts yrs later.
After seeing the happiness and love they bring, you're gonna be hooked on quilting for kids. I am. God bless you for what you do. :thumbup: |
