We will have a demonstration of hand-piecing a quilt block using freezer paper, which is an easy way to ensure your pattern pieces are consistent. Future meetings will have demonstrations of lap quilting and hand quilt assembly.
Some of us have started creating “Twiddlemuffs” for Alzheimer and dementia patients. These are knitted or sewn hand-warmers that provide sensory stimulation for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. They keep restless hands busy and soothe and comfort those who are anxious or agitated. We have contacted local facilities caring for these patients to see if there is a need. We are preparing samples to share with the group.
Many of our group are continuing to work on unfinished projects while sharing our interests, encouragement, knowledge and friendship. Join us as your time permits.
