Quilts bring such delight: whether making one, reading about them, looking at pictures, or going to a guild meeting or even a quilt show!
I love sharing my knowledge of quilts and that is the reason for this blog.
Yesterday I spent the day at the James Stitching Sisters making quilt tops for women diagnosed with breast cancer. On their first day of chemotherapy they receive a quilt to help keep them warm all during the chemotherapy sessions.
This project has been going on for 7 years and many women have received these comforting quilts. Our total of completed quilts yesterday was 780. What a wonderful thing!
I felt such comfort when I received my quilt on my first day of chemotherapy on Jan 2, 2007.
I kept it with me during each chemo day at the James.
