This was a late Christmas present. I'd posted the top as one of three before Christmas, but didn't finish it until yesterday. It's now safely on his nursing home bed. He seems to like it, but he has dementia, so it's hard to tell. It's only my second quilt, and my meandering wasn't fantastic, but I'm learning.

Your quilting is great. So is the quilt! I'm sure somewhere in your Dad's mind he's pleased with it.

Even with dementia, he can feel the quilt around him and know that he's loved. I made one for my MIL for Christmas and people stop to talk to her when they see it on her lap. It's a good conversation starter and also says "someone loves me."

It's beautiful, and even if he doesn't know it's there, it will help you to see it on his bed.

What a lovely quilt you have made for your Dad do you know that the texture of the quilting often has a calming effect on those with dementia!

alaskasunshine 01-16-2011 02:38 PM

What a gorgeous quilt for you dad. The fabrics are wonderful and how comforting to have it from his daughter!

What a lovely thing to do for your Dad. Even if he has dementia, I believe they see what we do for them, and know we do it because we love them.

Beautiful!

so many times, when we know not when, your dad may have a clear spot in his memory of you... keep this thought in your mind, he is proud of you and loves the warm hug you have made for him. the colors are just so very warm and rich, the color coordinates beautifully. you're a good daughter. God keep you and your dad strong.

Beautiful !!!! When my Mom wasn't talking anymore, she still held on to her quilt.It wasn't fancy...as they get a lot of washing in a nursing home, but it pleased her.
