Calling all quilters!!!

Just got the call!

 

I wrote in my last post about an idea I had to honor my Mom and good friend Diane.

I lost my Mom 3 years ago to Cancer and my good friend Diane is fighting Cancer now.

I went to visit her last week and made a bright and cheery pillow case with some of her favorite fabric.  It really lifted her spirits and brought a huge smile to her face.

 

As I left the hospital I began to think about how something as simple as a pillow case lightened my friends day.  Not only did it lift her spirits but it also bought color to a very dreary hospital room.

I thought of my Mom and her love of fabric, art, flowers, and color.

I thought if I could do something to honor my Mom and Diane this would be it.

 So I called Mayo Hospital and shared my idea with them  and explained why I wanted to do this. 

 Today I received a call from the American Cancer Society, they handle all the
 non-monetary donations for Mayo. They loved my idea and told me they would help me get the pillow cases distributed.

 

 

Sad to say most of us have had a love one who has fought Cancer or have fought it personally.

With that said, I am calling on my family, friends and fellow quilters for help.

 

If you could in any way help me bring a smile to someone fighting this horrible disease with a pillow case, fabric donation or a monetary donation to buy fabric I would  deeply appreciate it.

 

I know my Mom would be the first person going through her fabric stash and making pillow cases.

 

This is for you Mom xoxoxo
