Activity Quilts & Fidget Blankets

I make fidget blankets because of visiting nursing homes via my other career and then while visiting my Mother N Law. It saddened me to see many elderly in wheel chairs sitting in front of the nurses station with blank faces.

I wanted to make them smile. I wanted to believe that they were happy. I did not want to be one of the people I saw sitting with blank stares and no movement. I wished that I could give everyone of them a fidget quilt that they could hold and work their hands with to bring them smiles. Maybe some with texture, some with photo pockets. We are all individuals and like some things more than others.

Here are some of the quilts I have created.
