quilt for my Dad
1 Attachment(s)
Dad has always been on the go, and is finding it very difficult confined to a nursing home setting. thought this might cheer him up
|
That's sure to brighten his life! Make sure his name is on the back.
I printed on my sewing machine a long length of grosgrain ribbon with my mother's last name with my embroidery alphabet. I keep it with a needle and thread for everything that comes in. Yes, they do have a service to put labels on but it takes days. The last thing I sewed labels in were her new slippers so she could put them right on. |
I would really emphasize a well attached label. One of my sister's quilts walked. My brother's only was returned because of the label.
Constant reminders of being loved are very important. |
I agree with the label suggestions. I love this off set square in a square pattern. Since you made it, he is going to treasure it always.
|
ya already thought of that....I used to work in a seniors home years ago......attached a label with his full name on the back.............but yes I agree its amazing how these things just grow legs, lol
|
Very attractive, masculine quilt! Should perk up his room.
|
Your dad will love it. My dad is going through the same thing.
|
Very nice and manly.
|
Since labels can "come off", wouldn't it be nice to have family pictures in each of the off-set squares. It would be less likely to get lost that way. It's a beautiful quilt and I'm sure your dad will love it.
