patchwork


Getting Mom sitting up in a wheelchair is becoming less of an option. Her neck muscles are weakened and she detests being moved in any way. We'll try from time to time, but for now, she will stay in bed.

With this in mind, I rearranged her room so that she is able to look out her window, which she seems to enjoy. And now there is a family friendship quilt hanging on the wall that faces directly in front of her. She soaked it in and spent a considerable amount of time studying it. The love that went into making it (by family and friends in 1939) is pouring out to her, I believe.

That was a great idea to hang the quilt where she can study it and to place her where she can look out the window. Mother loved looking and did seem to study everything closely. We had a collage of family snapshots on the wall for mother to enjoy.
