This past Sunday, residents, staff, and family members paired up to help create a quilt of memories to be displayed in our community. Many of our residents have a long history of sewing and needle point, so they joined right in, helping to hand stitch lace and strings of pearls to the fabric. Several sewing machines were also made available so that residents could sew together blocks, comprised of four square pieces of fabric, which will then be compiled into the final product.
In order to make this quilt unique and special to our facility, clear sleeves were also sewn on so that pictures can be displayed right on the quilt, honoring all of our residents. This beautiful handmade quilt, made of warm earth tone fabric, will be displayed on the walls of our building soon, so be sure to stop by and see the end product of a joint effort and a true tribute to our residents.
