It's a Finish!

 A Wheelchair Quilt
for someone who loves their Irish ancestry and the color green. 

36 x 45

 It is now in transit to the intended recipient. 
I hope he can use it. 
He went home from an extended care facility on Christmas eve and we were told his Parkinson's progressed to the point where he would be confined to a wheelchair. In the last few weeks I understand that he barely makes it to the wheelchair now. 

for January as declared at Elm Street Quilts.

The Last Flimsy Finish of 2018

A Wheelchair Quilt
It's a flimsy!
36 x 45

It consists of 20 nine inch Nine Patches in St. Patrick's Day fabrics. 

I will make getting this finished as my January OMG (One Monthly Goal at Elm Street Quilts).  I will mail it to my Dad after I get it quilted. Earlier this year he was diagnosed with Parkinson's. Around Thanksgiving he was taken by ambulance to the hospital in severe pain. He was later released to an extended care facility and Christmas Eve he went home but is now confined to a wheelchair. We are not sure he will be able to stay at home but he wants to give it a try.   He's 88 and just stopped working last year. A short bio of him appeared in the Naples (FL) Daily News in 2016.  If you care to read it you will know why I chose St. Patrick's Day fabrics for his wheelchair quilt.
