A memory quilt is great present for those with Alzheimer's or other dementias. It can be used as a memory prompt or to start conversations.
Send your choice of photos. There are 9 squares in the quilt for photos. They will be approx 7x7" (17x17cm), the whole quilt will be 24x24" (60x60cm).
If you select to add the album there will be 8 squares on the quilt, as the album is kept in the centre block. There are 10 photos in the album, which are 4" (10cm) square, the whole album is roughly 6" (16cm) square.
Your photos are printed orders onto cotton fabric and sewn into the quilt and or fabric photo album. Please use bright, light and clear photos as they tend to darken when printed.
The backing fabric will be flannel, chosen to compliment the colours of the quilt. The flannel helps to prevent the quilt from slipping off it owners knee when it is in use.
This quilt is completely custom, and I am happy to discuss your requirements and to include colours and motifs you select. It is 100% cotton and machine washable. See below.

I have been a quilter for 20 years, and have made memory quilts celebrating friend's special events, but when my husband's mum developed Alzheimer's I wanted to make something that could combine a memory quilt with something to help interest her, and occupy her hands. She loved it so much that I thought it may be something that others would want too.
