TGIFF - What Cancer Cannot Do

I finished the cancer quilt. I apologise for the photos - I was working to a deadline, so I finished this FAST and have only had this evening to take photos. And indoor night time photos are NOT my forte.

Today is a lady at work's last day for a while - her 29 year old son goes into hospital today to undergo his last-ditch stem-cell transplant and series of chemo. I wanted to have this finished to give to her - either to hold or to give to the Cancer Council - in the coming days/months.


Not terribly impressed with my quilting but you can't see alot from the front.

It's hard to cut when the quilt-dog-in-training gets involved.

I'll try and take some better photos in the morning. In the meantime, send good wishes and prayers the way of Loretta, Troy and family... And link up if you have a finish...

    This quilt will be such a comfort I'm sure. :) I love the green and yellow prints and the uplifting words really make it special. Your little girl is quite photogenic too. ;)

    It's a beautiful quilt and I'm sure it'll be appreciated. When my niece was being treated for cancer, the hospital gave her a quilt that had been donated by a group for just such a purpose. She used it to snuggle under when she was feeling bad. And when she died it was something for my sister to keep and treasure.
    I hope your friend ends up with a happier story
