Pappus House Quilts - By Leslie Robinson

Pappus House is a social/community end-of life home located in York, Pennsylvania. Individuals who are on hospice care can come and live at Pappus House and receive attention and care just as if they were at home from a myriad of volunteers. It's the only home in York County that provided supportive care exclusively to people in their final months of life. Their original house had three rooms, they recently moved and just last month received certification to have 8 rooms. Local quilt guilds, including CAMQG made quilts for them to use. A local group, The Wellness Farm Stitchers also made a shroud for the facility. They use it to cover the deceased until they leave the house. They incorporated doilies, handkerchiefs and anything white on white they could find from their stashes.
