I just found out my piano teacher has cancer and so I want to make her something quick. Do you have any ideas that would come in handy during her chemo?
Thanks in advance.

M.E.H.

I quilt she can take with her to treatment.

last winter, I donated 31 fleece blankets to our local cancer treatment center. I got the idea from a friend who had cancer and he complained of being cold. I made him 2 fleece blankets and he loved them! I just buy fleece, lots of time from the remnant bin at JoAnn's - round off the corners and do a blanket stitch with my machine. I like to get between 48" and 1 & a half yards for each blanket as they are 58" wide.

Yes, a comfy fleece blanket. They get so cold.....

A fleece blanket would be great or a simple quilt top backed with fleece.

After my brother had brain cancer and was always cold during chemo, my mom made quilts to donate to cancer patients. She made sizes for kids and adults and donated them anonymously. She made easy patterns so she could make more but the colors were always beautiful. She made quite a few out of flannel.

A fleece "rag quilt" would work up really fast and be cozy warm and not heavy to drag around. She'll love anything you give her because she'll know you cared enough to make it for her.

How about make her a big bag to take things to occupy her during treatments.

I think a simple top with fleece back would be perfect! But as tj said, anything you make for her will be appreciated.

I agree with Wolfkitty. A simple pattern like Warm Wishes with a fleece back would be great. You could do it in black and white and use some music/piano fabrics.
