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.

Isn't it amazing that so many of us are thinking of ways to share our love for one another. It is exhilarating to see the results of these challenges. Thank you for issuing another.

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.

I do this with the home for pregnant teens. I do a dual set, mommy and baby. I try to have at least two sets for Christmas.

What size would a lap quilt be? Do you have any patterns to suggest?
