I spent some time making her a special gift. Being bed ridden and after suffering a stroke only has the use of one hand. I made a special hand towel size fiddle rug. It has lots of textures and things on it. She was very happy with it and wants to frame it....

I never heard of a fiddle rug and it's a wonderful idea! I can see so many possibilities for it.
What a lovely gift! And a genius idea to use a hand towel for the back. I will copy that one for sure. And a beautiful quilt for your friend as well. You are both lucky to have each other. Merry Christmas!
You are a beautiful soul and it shines through! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.

Beautiful and thoughtful gift. Very pretty
What a beautiful and special gift
how special the bond between people is. Showing your thoughtful use of trims, and her thoughtful receipt of a gift made by your hands. LeeAnna at not afraid of color
What wonderful gifts your friends received. I love the one you made for her Mom.
Very nice fidget mat for your friend's mom. The quilt will bring your friend much comfort. It is beautiful.
Jo, your fiddle quilt reminds me of quilts for blind children being made by a quilt group friend. My SIL teaches at the school for the blind in Janesville WI and also agreed that the textures and items added are appreciated by the students.
It would seem there are a couple of Jo's mentioned in this post. It took me a minute.
Your fiddle rug and braid quilt are so precious. I can see how a fiddle rug with all those textures would be a joy for someone bedridden. May the Lord bless this sweet lady and her family. What great gifts you have shared.
