Activity Quilts & Fidget Quilts

Know someone in a nursing home or want to do a good deed?  Buy an activity mat and send it to your loved one or contact a Alzheimer’s or Dementia facility and ask if there is a need and let us know.  (Or gift one or two to them.)

Great for those who fidget.  Bring happiness to someone by sending them this hand crafted activity mat.  Some have pockets for the favorite photos or for their name or next activity or daily meal plan choices.

Sylvia’s Quilting & Crafts wants to bring awareness and fun and smiles to those who suffer from dementia or Alzheimer’s or autism or multiple strokes.

Help us help someone by telling everyone about us.

Please favorite our Etsy store:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/SylviasQuiltingCraft     and send our url to friends and family to see.

We would like to see what occupational therapists and physical therapists think.  Please ask them to contact us for suggestions.

I started sewing at a young age. At first I played with fabric scraps from my Grandmothers stash. She taught me how to use her treadle sewing machine. As the years went by my interest increased. I met my wonderful husband Ross in 1964. Ross and I were married in October 1965. It was Ross’s mom Lucy Broda that introduced me to quilting. Ross and I moved to Florida in December of 1972. After making and quilting many quilts with my domestic sewing machine I went shopping for a long arm in 1994. I have been asked many times … What inspires my quilting? Or, where do I get the ideas or designs I use on quilts? I respond that I get my inspiration from nature. When I am outside in inhale and exhale and take the time to see the clouds and flowers and trees and plants and am in awe at the beauty around me. I take my love of contours and shapes and interpret the bark and waves and heavens into the quilting on the quilt in front of me. When I do custom quilting I will look at the fabrics in the quilt top for inspiration. I let the fabric talk to me. Or I look at the piecing or applique design. I want to enhance the quilt with the quilters infused concepts she/he has already begun but not over power the quilt top design. I am lucky to be able to have two machines. One is “all me” and the other is computer assisted.
