Just finished “Linda’s Quilt” – A sm. lap quilt to send a friend in treatment at the Tulsa Cancer Treatment Ctr. Someone told me they are always ‘cold’ during chemo treatments, so hope this might help & give her a little comfort. Just did a quick one from Waterways batik charm packs & backed it w/flannel - machine quilted w/a straight stitch (I usually hand quilt)
She is having a pretty rough time battling Pancreatic cancer – only in her late 50’s. Any prayers for her would be appreciated.

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there, may your day be blessed & all your quilts filled w/love. :lol:

Prayers indeed. I have heard great things about that cancer center in Tulsa (I live in Oklahoma). That is a beautiful quilt and a very thoughtful thing to do.

It looks great. Love those colors and the simple straight quilting is all it needs. I pray it brings Linda healing warmth as she wraps herself in the love you put into it.

Is that fabric the new batik line from Connecting Threads? It is a great color combination!

Yes, I did get it from Conect. Threads - was looking for "aqua's", as her dgtr said it is a fav color of hers. Was a little disappointed my pkg. had quite so much 'green' in it, but came out OK - hope she likes it.

tell linda there is always hope! my husband is recovering from pancreatic cancer. he would not allow himself to think anything but positively. many people prayed for him, and we will add our prayers for linda, and you, because caring friends need strength, too.

So colorful and cheerful. The striped flannel on the back really makes this a very special gift. Thank you for sharing it with us.

fred singer 05-08-2011 11:02 AM

wow that is a really nice quilt

Ziva 05-08-2011 11:21 AM

Prayers, never a problem. Love the quilt and I know she will also. Yes they do get cold. I have a friend who has battled cancer for years. Some of us from church get to take her to Chemo every month as she has to go every Thursday. She is such a trooper and such a tremendous blessing to all of us!

MaggieMeg 05-08-2011 12:22 PM

I love the colors! And prayers going out to your friend.

Grandma Cindy 05-08-2011 12:47 PM

Prayers have been sent and I know your friendship and this quilt will always remind her of the love you feel for her.

alpha39 05-08-2011 12:48 PM

How very thoughtful of you. I was given a prayer quilt when I went thru chemo and it was very comforting just thinking of the prayers that went into it as it was being made. I know she will take comfort & warmth in this one also. I will keep her in my prayers.

Happy Mother's Day to you too and to all the mothers and mother's to be on the board. That's a quilt that I am sure will be loved and enjoyed. How nice of you to do this for your friend.
I found out a couple of weeks ago about a classmate in my graduating class that had pancreatic cancer. We lost him last week. I hope the treatment works out great for your friend. I have hear a lot of good things about the center there in Okla.
Any cancer is a terrible thing, such a mean dreadful disease. I lost my Mother in 1990 to Cancer. I had to have a total thyroidectomy in 2009, and they found cancer in the left Thyroid. I return on the 18th of this month for my next six month checkup, so far, God has blessed me with no more signs of this horrible disease, so for now I am clean. I pray that your friend will soon be also. Prayer is a very powerful weapon against everything and I know prayer does work. Our God performs such great miracles , that we don't give Him credit for in today's world. Blessings to you and your friend.
