||| FROM LENA KASSA for ORCAS SENIOR CENTER |||
Join Brenda Bacon at Orcas Senior Center for a creative Fidget Quilt workshop on Wednesday, November 19, from 1 to 4 p.m. This hands-on session is designed to guide participants in crafting small, tactile quilts that offer comfort and engagement for individuals living with dementia.
Fidget quilts feature interactive elements such as zippers, Velcro, buttons, ribbons, and textured fabrics—designed to keep hands busy and minds soothed. Brenda will provide sewing machines, basic materials, and step-by-step guidance. Sample quilts and handouts will also be available to spark ideas and creativity.
Whether you’re new to sewing or an experienced quilter, all are welcome. Donations of materials are appreciated to help support the project.
