Touch quilts for Alzheimer’s
T he Alzheimer Society
of Manitoba is looking
for volunteer quilters to
help make around 10,000
touch quilts this year. Af-
ter learning this, a group
of local ladies got together
to make some wonderful,
eye-catching quilts for the
society.
On Friday, January
14th and Saturday, January
15th, the ladies gathered at
the 50+ Centre armed with
their sewing machines,
irons, material and lots of
needles. There was a hive
of activity as some of the
ladies were sewing, and
another lady was ironing.
Everyone was very excited
and happy to be working
on their quilts.
