I make quilts for my cancer center to raffle off monthly. My friend is the counselor, so she has the patients put their name in a jar to be drawn monthly. She says they are thrilled to receive them. No one made a quilt for me when I went through radiation and 3 surgeries in a year, just 4 years ago. I guess people thought that since I made my own quilts I wouldn't want one from them. I can wrap myself in my own quilts but it's just not the same as feeling the love of someone who cared about me and my welfare. That's why I make them for others. I also have a stack of quilts here just waiting for anyone who has a need. I don't worry whether they are appreciated, if a person loses everything in a fire, flood, or some other catastrophe, at least they have a quilt made with love in every stitch to wrap themselves in. When you are going through cancer you feel as though you have lost everything.
