Bill made it to the Adirondacks for a climb to the top Bald Mountain-where he met someone he knew...couldn't have planned it better!

Mom and I made a quilt for my Aunt who is in the grip of Alzheimer's. This is a tactile textile because she likes to pick at things so there are lots of things to pick at in this quilt!

When you go to camp as a kid, they have a bonfire to mark the last night-we did just that and had a wonderful gathering at my sister's for our end-of-trip visit!
Flight knitting-the shawl had gotten too large and complicated for on-board knitting, so I started a toe-up sock with a lacy panel up the side. (KnitPicks Stroll Tonal Queen Anne sock yarn)
That tactile quilt is just brilliant. Mind robbing illnesses are the WORST. I am knee deep in red tape trying to get help for Daddio. Anyone that has to deal with a loved one who is suffering in this way knows we need to make this a priority NOW.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt for your aunt is such a good idea. Fun being with your family isn't it?
ReplyDeleteNY state is so beautiful! It's great to see family. Can't wait to see the shawl finished
ReplyDeleteGlad you both had a good trip filled with good things...it doesn't make the good-byes any easier, but it does make them worth it!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see that shawl blocked. It is a fascinating one!
I love the idea for that quilt. I wish I had thought of that when my maternal grandmother was still alive. She would have loved it.
ReplyDeleteThe tactile quilt is a great idea!
