There is a need for touch quilts again! These special quilts can help calm those with dementia. You don’t need to be a quilter to help with this project, just a sewer. All materials are provided, just bring your machine, scissors, thread, and a willingness to help.

Jane Roszell is the instructor, she comes with great expertise, patience and fabrics! Cost is FREE, if your quilt is donated back to the shop for distribution to area long term care centers, otherwise $20. Come and make a quilt to donate, in the spirit of the season.
