Yes, even around my chaos I have still fitted it in.
The residents have been fabulous.
They wanted to make a quilt for the Aussie Heroes.
I am helping them out. Making sure we get a quilt finished.. This is what's been happening.
We have some residents that just watch, some sort out colours of fabric and place squares where they need to be. We even had a lovely gentleman, Kevin, try his hand at rotary cutting. June was a whiz at the machine. I'm sure if she was driving would get a few speeding tickets. We laugh a bit too much I think. Then we have some other volunteers and Anne do the ironing and threading the needle when it's needed..
I will show you the progress of the next visit I make. They are doing a great job...

Beautiful post!
You are amazing Jo!
How do you fit all these things into your busy life, Jo? Marvellous idea, such a great way to get the nursing home residents busy, actively engaged in such a lovely colourful project. We all need time to interact with each other, learn new skills and laugh!
What a wonderful thing to be doing Jo...that quilt will be done in no time with speedy June on the machine!!!
Looks like everyone is enjoying the new learning experience while making a worthwhile project! Think they will continue to make more?
