February 11 & 12 were fun days at Pinjarra Patchwork & Quilters :)
A really wonderful aspect of our hobby is being able to share it with others in all sorts of ways. We recently had a busy bee to sew 'fidget blankets'. These blankets are a very portable item, with several safe attachments, to be a handy distraction for dementia patients when they are in the care of hospital emergency department staff. They can provide a calming occupation while their health needs are being attended. PPQ are proud to support one Perth hospital by making & donating these blankets, & yes we have a fun time making them!
Many thanks to our member Pam who organised our busy bee & delivers these items on our behalf.
