Last year my dear uncle was in a facility for alzheimer's patients (hate the word nursing home) and i was determined to make him a lap quilt. He passed away before i got it done so at christmas i made a flannel rag quilt and took it over on christmas eve to the center. they were so thrilled to have it. made me feel good to do something. i told my mother i would try to make one every year to give to them. but i really like the idea of the shawl for around the shoulder - definitely will try to do this one! thanks for the link and idea
