The Quilted Hug Project – Warm Shawls for Adults
Although this is presented as a quilting project, it is an easy straightforward straight stitched triangle with added pockets and a Velcro closure.
Excerpt from Facebook: We are hoping to inspire quilters and create a movement where every person in a nursing home is wrapped in a bright cheerful shawl – beautiful image isn’t it! Or going through chemo or other time of need where a warm hug can bring them comfort. Please join us in our Quilted Hug Project.
