My mother in law went into a long term car...Elaine,<br />My mother in law went into a long term care facility in the spring of 2007. It was very hard for my father in law but it was the only decision that could be made as it was no longer safe for her to be at home. She is very fortunate in that the home in which she is living, is a wonderful place where she is well liked and cared for.<br />I made her a quilt from a Fons and Porter magazine that summer. I have since made her a texture quilt- It was a suggestion of adventures of a quilting diva I believe, and it was fun to do. I made 6 and a half inch blocks of different textured fabrics. It has a soft fleece back and lots of different colors and textures on the front. If you want more information contact me and I will try find you a picture and a link to the blog that I got the pattern from. I am told that she did enjoy stroking the different textures.<br />It is probably not a very easy time for your family- especially your father. My wish for you and yours is that you find time to laugh and remember all the joyous times you have had together.<br />Warmest regards,<br />Annaquiltmom annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976120921532056369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7523694294441818375.post-11624954939679270192011-06-03T17:41:17.062-04:002011-06-03T17:41:17.062-04:00Sorry to hear about your mom.

I just wish Medicare would pay for long term, but he met all their "standard" requirements. Good luck with your mom.PeggyRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06079681533773249938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7523694294441818375.post-2283398260670506752011-06-03T17:34:31.936-04:002011-06-03T17:34:31.936-04:00I am so sorry for such a difficult decision, Elain...I am so sorry for such a difficult decision, Elaine.
