It would be cool to make an autograph/prayer quilt top that those involved in her care could sign for her and back it in fleece or flannel to be a cozy wrap for her.

McCall's Pattern #M5970 is for a great Snuggy with arms that I made for my daughter and her little girl. I used non-pill fleece. It's easy. to sew, is unlined and has an optional pocket on the inside of the front for you to slip your feet in for extra warmth. You don't need any binding and no extra notions. Yoy might want to put a button on the back so it doesn't fall off the shoulders with movement. I think she would like it. They are so warm and cozy and the fabric is so much nicer than what comes in the kits you can get. When Joann's has patterns on sale, you can get it for $2. The fleece is usually always on sale for 40% & 50% off. Good Luck!

Having just gone through this myself, I can say hats are most useful as you lose your hair by the 3rd treatment. In most chemo areas they supply a thin fleece blanket, but chemo strips your immunity so perhaps a personal one would be appreciated as the rooms always seem to be freezing.

If you google Quillow, you will find a free pattern. Very easy to make. Good luck.

Annaquilts is referring to quillows. There are really easy and easy to carry. Usually the pocket is 1/3 the wideth of the width of the quilt, however I made a quillow with fannel on the back and it was really hard to fold the quillow up and get it in the pocket. I would make the pocket after the quilt was done and folder so that the pocket is big enough to easily put the quilt in.
Bless you for caring enough to do this.

Since you know her, you are ideally suited to design her first "Chemo cap" to keep her warmer. A matching 'snuggie' blanket would be nice.

LOVE your idea with sleeves....

Would LOVE to get the pattern for this...please.

If you have a Hobby Lobby near you, they did have fabric, with musical notes on it. Thank would be a great quilt theme. Perhaps a rag quilt, flannel or fleece on one side and the piano fabric on the other, would be very quick. Or just do the music fab. and another color. Make a large block and make pinwheels of the music fab and attatch. There was a neat tutorial on the board a few weeks back and I've seen several pinwheels that others have made from that tute. or at least they look like it. Prayers go out to your teacher and friend.
I go on 11-18 for my six month checkup to check if I am still clear of Thyroid cancer, I have no worry about it. I was in May, but then I know who is responsible for this, I turned it all over to God when I first found out I needed to have my Thyroid removed, summer of 2009. He has taken care of everything!!!!!
