Beequilter

I just found this thread. I have not been online in a very long time. But I made a fidget quilt because a really good blogger shared her quilts and I knew I wanted to make one for a friend. I still do not have it finished but the site where all of the patterns or ideas are is this:

This is dear to my heart too. Thanks for the idea. I will make a few and see if the facility where my mom lives would like them and more.

WOW that's cool. wouldn't have thought about using ribbon, a towel or even buttons for that matter. I would like to try that in one of my small quilts. Great idea.

That is so touching! Your mother truly was quilting -- her hands had MEMORY!

Every year our guild has a small service project...this year we are sewing the pillow cases for the local QOV program...I think the fidget quilts would be an excellent idea....

Interesting idea - and bless you for carrying it out. Reminds me of the "busy books" we used to make/buy for toddlers to entertain them in church or other "waiting" moments.

That is an awesome idea. I will check into doing this.

Our sewing circle had fun making fidget table toppers, fidget aprons, and blankets. They really to get a kick out of making them. It will be delightful to be able to share them with the local nursing homes.
