thanks all for filling me in on what QIs are....I have two...Lucky, our dog..is 10yrs old..just a mutt and was abused as a puppy before we got him..so he is a bit of a sensitive beast..raising your voice to him is out of the question...MiMi our cat is about 13..she is a lover and loves to snuggle ..the minute I lay down on the couch she is there ready to be cuddled..she likes to watch my hands when I hand quilt or sew.. so my future plan..this is a 6-7 year goal setting (after I retire plan) .. is to go thru training with a puppy so that I can visit with the dog at childrens hospitals and senior citizen homes (even tho I will be a senior myself..LOL) ..along with that I hope to make quilts and other homey stuff to take along..so I will be working really hard learning quilting the next few years..I saw that someone had an article on fabric and textiles relieving stress and helping Alzheimer patients..would you please direct me to the article? is anyone else doing this kinda thing or planning to? also..would love to participate in any of the stuff going on here..well within my ability and time..am afraid I don't know much about getting around a online group..

Your QIs sound sweet. Hope we get to see pictures one day.
Keep making that list, Redrose, and making plans for it. We know so many people who retired 'from'. All they do is sit on the sofa, watch drivel and complain. What a dismal waste. DH and I figure we'll have to live at least
80 more years to get a good grip on the list we've made. However . . . I just can't recommend making an Altzheimer's quilt as something you'd want to do very often. Those 'feely' fabrics all have an attitude and putting them together requires tenacity - to put it mildly. Before you begin one, do email me for a vocabulary list. I saved mine from the 'some assembly required' projects. The 1,273 part swing set is top on the list. Polly
