1 - This is a quilt for someone with Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. There are lots of bits to poke, pull stroke and fiddle with which have been found to be soothing and calming. Ideas will be appearing regularly in the Countrywoman so start saving bits and pieces like buttons, lace and zips. Fabric should be age appropriate and all attachments fixed securely. Too many upholstery fabrics can make it heavy!

Another version could be a cushion or apron and all should be washable

 2 - This is the new easier pattern for turbans but please use the Cancer Council fabric because it is soft and the best. Call Sara 5435 2021 for fabric

3 - Wheelchair bags - note the placement of the velcro straps. Make both straps like the one on the right so the velcro lies the same way.

4 - A walking frame bag - not too deep and outside pockets for easy reach.
