My mother is in a nursing home so I see a lot of people there who do not get a lot of visitors.
A quilt means a lot people who have lost so much. I make at least 3 quilts a year for people there. Every thing is appreiciated so much my those that have so little.

I thought I would add apron strings to a lap quilt for Mother and put velcro on the strings/straps so she could easily wrap it around and it wouln't fall off. Add a pocket center front for kleenix. I never got it made as happily her health improved and she is walking, now. I do have a plan for if she needs one in the future.

This is so wonderful. It feels like Christmas in July! I love the shoulder wrap and bib idea. Just a word of caution about using velcro. Our family owns an assisted living home and they really don't like bibs with velcro because it catches on everything in the laundry. I used great big snaps on adult bibs I made for my father-in-law, and they are easy for my 90 year old MIL to open and shut.
