That’s beautiful, Sheba…… your neighbour will love it!

Thanks Mags, I hope you’re right

I finished this today. It’s a gift for a neighbour who’s recently come home after an 8 month stay in hospital.

What a beautiful gift - she will love it, I am certain!

Oh and also, I made my daughter’s neighbour a memory cushion as well. It just felt so wrong and wasteful to throw out all the leftover fabric from the memory bear!

What a lovely idea!

Thanks Tabby - can’t wait to give it to her!!

Have you ever come across/thought about making activity cushions or blankets. They are a bit like activity bears for kids, and have buttons and pockets and zips and tassels to remind people with dementia how things work, and are very tactile.
Many people with dementia like to simply stroke something furry, whether it be an animal or something person made.

Hi
Bathsheba you are truly talented and skilled

Oh wow! I have only just come to this thread.

In my young days I sewed for a living but could never sew like this.

Your work is amazing Sheba. x

Oh yes, I know the sort of thing you mean Fruity. I have thought about doing those, because I have so many fabric scraps, and it would make such good use of them.

Aw thanks Swimmy, lovely thing to say

Thanks so much Carol, but I don’t believe you - if you know your way round a sewing machine, and once did it for a living, all of this would be a doddle for you!
