Bed Pads

I bought Mom some waterproof pads to go under her.  Quilted on one side and nylon on the other, the pad is intended to serve two purposes.  First to protect the sheets from leakage, and  second to make moving Mom up and down the bed, or rolling side to side, just a bit easier on the back of the mover.  The idea was good, but the quilted side was not so comfy, and the nylon and quilt materials were not stitched anywhere in the middle of the pad, so the layers tended to bunch up as Mom squirmed around.  I bought some fleece fabric this weekend to cover the quilt and while I am at it I will stitch seams across the middle so the pad stays solid.  I was extremely happy how it turned out.  I only finished one yesterday, but it rocks.  When Mom is in a good mood and lets me take some pictures, I will show you the finished product.  But for now I am so grateful Mom taught me how to sew!
