Thank-you so much for the prayers for my sister, and for letting me know about your daughter, that's wonderful news, I'm saying prayers for her that she continues to do well.

We are giving thanks to God our Father, all who continue to pray for her, and the wonderful doctors and staff who care for her.

My sister was almost not going to take treatments, but she decided to take them and hopefully they will help.
Saying a prayer for your Mom and praying for her, take care and safe travels to you.

God bless her and keep her in his hands and heal her. Take Care

I'm so sorry for your families loss, it is such a horrible disease, I pray that they find a cure soon.
I'm also saying some prayers for all cancer patients. I've lost a very good friend to cancer and my cousins wife and my father-in-law, and some relatives of my Mom's have also passed away from cancer. There are so many people with cancer, it's unbelivable, every few months I hear of someone else that has cancer... when will it end!

Yes that is the pattern. It is actually a Quilt Store Promotoin called Stash Pot Pie, each month we get a new pattern and we are supposed to use fabrics from our stash to make the quilt, so far I've made 3 quilts and all the fabric I used was from my stash, except for the border on this one, and of course the backing.
Yes, my sister was having alot of severe lower back pain, and was doctoring for a couple of months for that reason and also she wasn't feeling well, they did a lot of tests but nothing was showing up, then they decided to do a CT Scan, and that's when they found the tumor on her pancreas, they can't remove it because right now without damaging some vital organs, they did a biposy and found out that it was cancerous. That was in mid June, she started treatments around the 15th for 2 weeks and she is home for 10 days and then back for another 2 weeks of treatments, then they will do another CT Scan to see if the tumor is shrinking and if so they will remove it as soon as they can do so safely. So far there is no cancer showing up in any blood work and nothing in the lymph nodes, so hopefully that is a good sign that she will get through this ok.

Is the pattern a published one or did you design it?
