I have tweaked the design for the Fiddle Purse and Yoriko has generously agreed to offer it as a free design on her site. I hope lots of you will be able to use it for dementia sufferers around the world.

I still have 2 days left of vacation. I have to try this tomorrow. Thank you for making this design.

Thanks to you and Yoriko for this free design. I am just starting the process at my church and with another church member's quilt guild to make Alzheimer's activity mats and aprons for the women (and men) in the two nursing homes here in town. My sister and several church members are in these two nursing homes, as well as so many others. This will be so helpful!

Thank you and Yoriko !

Thank you, Yoriko and Sue for your incredible generosity. This looks to be just the ticket for lots of patients.

Thank you very much for sharing - this is a fantastic idea.

Thank you Sue - this is so generous of you!

Nice! Thank you. And Thank you Yoriko.

I've never made an in-the-hoop project before, so this is going to be a first. Hopefully I can get a few minutes to stitch it out while my husband naps. He was diagnosed in his mid 40s with Alzheimer's, and each day presents a new set of challenges. I may tack it to his lap blanket, so he doesn't lose it. Thank you for creating this, and offering it up. Both you and Yoriko are very kind!!

This may be a bit advanced for your first ITH project. I would advise you to try something more straightforward first. PM me if you need any help. I've used shoelaces as part of the embellishment on this one which I thought could be tied to a blanket or clothing.

What a wonderful idea. Thank you to both you and Yoriko

this looks just fabulous Sue, I am sure there will be lots of these made very soon and it will help Nursing Homes right around the World. thankyou both.

Nice idea, although too big as my largest hoop is 7in x12 in. May be able to adapt others I have for this purpose as I know a few people who would like these.

I'll give some thought to this size, but I wouldn't be able to test it.

Sue and Yoriko. Thank you ...What a lovely gift. Am sure it will be well received :)

Many thanks Sue and to Yoriko for offering this fiddle purse for free. I will have to make some for the dementia ward where my sister is. Thanks and Hugs Shirley

Wonderful gift to so many.Very sweet givers of the the gift.
I love seeing it continue giving. From dementia, nail bitters and babies. It is more than a purse for sure.

This is a great idea, thank you for sharing the design :)

What a wonderful concept and what wonderful Cuties you two are for being so generous and so very thoughtful. I'm sure many, many sufferers will benefit from you both.

That's a lovely purse. Thanks to both of you, Sue and Yoriko.

A brilliant concept for those who need... was thinking do you think this could be adapted for a spare pacifier holder/taggy toy with different textures could be interesting for young ones
