The Longest Day at Silk Road Textiles

More than twenty people came together at Silk Road Textiles on June 20 to sew fidget quilts during The Longest Day, an event sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Association to honor the strength, passion, and endurance of those facing Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The quilts will be donated to Cincinnati area memory care units.

We cut and ironed fabric and sewed together 24 fidget quilts, which help calm agitation in those suffering from Alzheimer’s. The energy level in the store was amazing, especially when we had the classroom humming with a room full of sewing machines all going at the same time! 

We are planning another sewing service project in September. Be on the lookout for more information!
