[Nfb-seniors] Making a quilt with our support group

[Bonnie Lucas]

Hello Everyone,
I am a senior's program coordinator in Anchorage, Alaska and conduct a support group for seniors here at the center where I work. I thought it might be fun for the participants to make a quilt that we would then sell as a part of our non-profit fund raising for the agency. Everyone thought it would be a good idea and I'd like to give everyone as many ideas as possible. I think that having each person make blocks and then put them together in a quilt would be the best way to accomplish this. (Also sending this to the Krafters Korner group). I'd like to present the group with as many ways of making a block as possible. Most of them have some vision and at this point, are pretty determined to use it. However, I'd like to present both tactile ways and visual options to the group. Some things I've thought of are: using puffed paint to create a design, using needle work as a created pattern or copying an already made pattern. I know there are many other options, so, if anyone can think of some, I'd certainly appreciate it. Please feel free to call or write.

Sincerely,
Bonnie
