Valentine quilt for nursing home
 
3 Attachment(s)
The River Valley Stitchers made paper pieced blocks. Anne put it together dealing with all the problems of a group project. And I quilted it. It will hang for February at a local nursing home. We are in the process of making one to hang each month so that the environment can be changed. They have been so well received. I have been actually hanging two a month. I was hanging one and a resident came in and said no, hang it on the other wall where I see it while I am eating. I assured her I had another one for that wall too.

It's a beautiful quilt and a worthwhile project!

Oh it's so very pretty. I know you all have given so much joy to the residents. You should be proud. The quilting is exquisite!

What greater compliment and expression of appreciation but to be asked to move it so she could see it while eating!

Beautiful Deb! What a sweet thing to do, and the quilting on the hearts looks great.

klaws 02-04-2014 01:05 PM

Beautiful. I know the residents will love to look at it.

RedGarnet222 02-04-2014 01:12 PM

What a sweet quilt and I just love that it is going to be hanging for many lovely seniors to be able to enjoy. Good on you all for your efforts.

I had to go to the DMV recently and it took 3 1/2 hours to wait my turn. I was happily walking around the departments for on the walls were fabulous quilts hanging around the entire building. What a treat to have a quilt show there for me to enjoy while I was bored silly. I didn't even know they were there!

barny 02-04-2014 01:37 PM

OOh! I love this quilt. And the back is just as beautiful. I have a 91yr. old Sister in the nursing Home. They play bingo in the dining room in the afternoon. I'm making lap quilts for their prizes. I'm kind of slow tho'. I didn't mean to interrupt your thread.

Daylesewblessed 02-04-2014 01:49 PM

What a wonderful gift to the residents and staff! It is truly art!

What a great way to brighten up the nursing home. During the winter months, we could all use some cheering. Thank goodness for quilting to occupy the hours while we are house bound : )

Such a pretty quilt. I have to agree with all that everyone else has posted......your really making a mark on those seniors lives. Would you mind sharing the name of the pattern? Thanks for sharing

sewnsewer2 02-04-2014 06:57 PM

Very pretty and what a great idea too! I'm sure the residents will look forward to the next months quilt being displayed.

Beautiful quilt, fabulous quilting!!!

Wonderful quilt. Love your plan to have a change every month. I'm sure it will be wonderful for the residents too.

SheriR 02-04-2014 09:53 PM

So pretty. I showed my hubby and told him about your groups project. He travels to nursing homes and cares for the residents. He thought it was a great thing y'all were doing. I bet the sweet woman who wants to look at your quilt while she eats day dreams of her Quilty years gone by.

wraez 02-04-2014 11:15 PM

of course the quilt is wonderful but it is the quilting that makes it outstanding! LOVE it

key4unc 02-05-2014 12:20 AM

Cindy60545 02-05-2014 01:21 AM

You gals did a fantastic job on this quilt. Your quilting made it outstanding! It makes it come alive! Kudo's on the project for the senior center too. What a great idea to cheer them up each month. They'll be looking forward to the coming months & quilts.
