I'm spending my weekend working on a quilt for a teacher that works for the same school district I work for. I don't really know her, but she is just 29 years old and was just diagnosed with breast cancer. She underwent a radical mastectomy and will have to have both radiation and chemotherapy. I cut squares for her students and fellow teachers to sign with fabric markers and then sewing them into a D9P for the front. For the back I am making blocks made of strips and sewing four together and then cutting a large heart out of them to applique onto the back of the quilt.
I admire all of you for your donations to the various programs you support. I am hoping to get involved with a group that donates quilts, but as a new quilter I have not found a group I can join yet. Hope all of us have very productive weekends.
