A Very Productive Day!!

 It was our all day meeting today, and we were making sensory lap quilts for people suffering from Dementia and Alzheimers ( and that doesn't include the group members although sometimes I do wonder.....)

These little blankets are more like fancy aprons really. We have added a strap to tie around the waist. They have lots of little tactile attachments so that the user has something to "fiddle" with rather than pulling on their clothes.Activity or Fidget Blanket / Dementia Blankets

work progressed quickly with lots of different styles being made

A Good Start

 I do believe that some had started their projects at home because the usual culprits seemed to get on rather well

Ena sewing her binding!

 The hardest part is deciding where to put all the little attachments

 And some in the room seemed to be making rather a mess.....

Liz's "bits" and Annette's backing

A few were making Linus Quilts and we also had three lovely Crocheted Linus quilts donated from Mrs Beal's DIL

Beautifully made! 

I just love the Stripped one and the little pink one is so soft!

 Anyway, be the end of the day, we had 20 Finished/almost/just about ready to send off to local recipients

Shirley picking hers for future use.....

Such an array

 This one is on a nautical theme

And June wanted to show her lovely first attempt at crochet!

Well done June

I will show some detailed pictures of the little quilts after he Wednesday ladies have done some more.

Two posts in two days! I'll never keep this up!!
