Thank you for this fabulous idea!! Our church senior citizens lunch club were delighted with their 'community quilt'. Everyone made their own quilt piece using coloured and patterned paper (some people needed help) and we put it together to make this wonderful cross -shaped artwork.
This was a great idea. We used a combination of dried flowers (lavender, wheat etc), fresh greenery (holly, heather etc) and some curly twigs to make bouquets. All tied up with colourful ribbon. We made extras to give as gifts to our volunteers.
My group loved this activity - each person completed their piece independently using their own ideas and ability, and they were thrilled to see how the pieces fitted together to make a collaborative art work. They were all so pleased to point out which bit of the heart they’d completed.
I have been using your site constantly over the last few weeks as I was allocated a client with young on-set dementia. Your strategies, games and ideas have been brilliant. Thanks again!
