Ping Polly!

Years ago, maybe three, I made Sister an Alzheimer's quilt. There was no particular pattern or beauty to it. It was simply for feeling. The squares were every texture I could find. There was fur, velvet, silk and satin; something that was sort of rough like burlap, some squeaky taffeta, corduroy, of course, and a nubby pique. Long after her ability to speak was gone, she continued to enjoy rubbing the many feelings of her quilt. There's so pitifully little you can share with an Alzheimer's patient but that was one. Polly

What a great idea! I wish I had thought of that--I did make Daddy a quilt but the different textures would have been great.

WE bought Dad a normal sized stuffed dog (Springer Spaniel). he had that thing on his lap from the moment he got up in the AM until he went to bed. It had given him a lot of comfort.

Thanks! Michelle > Years ago, maybe three, I made Sister an Alzheimer's quilt. There was
