Bless your hearts!! These are beautiful quilts!! :D:D:D

What a thoughtfull way to share this Christmas. The quilts are beautiful and I know they were appreciated. My mom is in the nursing home with alzheimers and has been for probably 7 yrs now. And she and other residents are always cold. My mother will be celebrating her 91 birthday in Jan. Bless her little heart.

what a wonderful thing to do!

Kathy, you are such a great person. After the holidays, we have to get together one day. I love your new avatar too. Saw the wardens smile in the first picture. Does he smile like that at work.... :)

Such a wonderful and wortwhile project. The nursing home resident brings back memories of when my mom was in the nursing home. There are so many people that don't have a loved one to visit with them.

What a wonderful ting you do for both the donors and the donees! The photos are GREAT!

Yes, we gave all the staff quilts, too. I buy our supplies from a wholesaler. Occasionally, someone will donate scraps, but we don't encourage it. We are a for-profit corporation.

Yup! He had never done anything like this before, but he was really charged up after giving the first resident her quilt. The look on both of their faces was priceless! He is so dark, his teeth really shine. He turns purple when he blushes!. Met his Mom on Monday, too. She is a lovely lady. She gave me a big hug and didn't want to let go!

Now how wonderful is this...FABULOUS!!!!!!!!

Cool!
I don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but in nursing homes, veterans homes and hospitals - - an activities director shared this with me.
Many times, the quilts presented to the clients/residents (and the wheelchair bags, too) go home with the family because it belonged to grammy and grandpa and it is something the family embraces in their sorrow when their elder passes away.
When one realizes that one lap robe in a nursing home cheers the recipient and ripples through the family in comfort, the lap robes become more important, don't they? <wave>
