    Red face Gift to a Cancer Patient who definitely needs cheering up.

    ***
    I made this quilt last June and thought I will keep it.
    ***
    Then a friends daughter found a lump in breast, then another in the other side,
    then found out she has all the markers for Ovarian Cancer.
    ***
    She is now going through chemo then will have what surgery is necessary for the
    breast and then a complete hysterectomy (sp) as a preventative.
    ***
    She has a 13 year old son & an 8 year old son (who is ADHD and epilepsy).
    ***
    She had her grandmother's old quilt at the 1st chemo and I said she needs this more
    than I do.
    ***
    This quilt is Pink/Green Falling Charms or Squares (queen) and she definitely needs
    something to cheer her up.
    ***
    This is the pic she posted on Facebook thanking me (I forgot make a pic before giving).

    How kind of you to share your quilt with her. It's pretty and has lots of lovely hand stitches! Praying that they can arrest the cancer and she may live a long life with her children.

    That is really a special quilt to give her. I can see you hand quilted the quilt and will be a precious keepsake for her and her family.

    My daughter-in-law had the chemo and radiation, both breasts removed, reconstructive surgery, and a complete hysterectomy as a preventive. She suffered, but is doing well now. I am sure your friend has no way of expressing her thanks for your gift. Thank you for your kindness.
