Quilters make a difference

Marlene Kuskie

No one looks forward to when they might have to be a resident of a memory unit or assisted care. The hours are long and anxiety is often a part of memory loss. The PebbleCreek Quilters hope to make a difference in the lives of those residents by making fidget/activity mats. These activity mats provide the opportunity for the person to do something with their hands as well as their minds. Fifteen activity mats were made by PC quilters for Abrazo. Carol Winston shows one activity mat, other mats included other activities. Community service is a significant mission of the PebbleCreek Quilters. Making these activity mats are a part of that mission, to make life more meaningful with our created projects. Another fifteen cotton flannel baby blankets were presented to Abrazo as well.
