Cancer Sucks. Wanna Do Something About It?

For the umpteenth time THIS MONTH I received yet another post from a friend on Facebook that read "CANCER SUCKS!".  This time it's the Aunt of a long-time friend who is losing her battle with breast cancer. Last week it was a brother with kidney cancer. The week before a child with brain cancer...it never stops.  Emily is gone.  Tim is gone.  My Father-in-Law...gone.  My Father - gone in less than 5 months!   Pancreatic, testicular, prostate, liver...cancers all and I'm bloody tired of it.

The one way that I "fight" back is by making a quilt that can go with folks into treatment;  it's small enough to fit over wheelchairs and on gurneys yet big enuf to snuggle under. It's made to be signed with messages of love and encouragement by friends and family.  And I'd like to build a stash of them to give away as a way to FIGHT BACK!!

I'd like  to throw a series of CANCER SUCKS! SEWING PARTIES....I have the sewing room, the machines, the fabric and the time.  Even if YOU can't sew- I can teach you... or you can cut, or assemble or be the comic entertainment!!  COME and QUILT... you'll learn how to rag quilt for FREE and have a great time with other folks who are as PO'd at cancer as YOU are!  We can make pink, and purple and blue and teal and.....

 

All quilts will be signed by ALL the folks who put in time and everyone will get a letter when one goes out as a donation to a special someone in need.

I am open to weekend, daytime and evening sessions... just tell me when YOU can come and I will group folks into "PARTIES"...  Come once, or come until you make a whole quilt... just COME!   

We promise that there WON'T be a dull moment! LOL

If you aren't in the area and would like to contribute towards materials please comment and let me know and I will send out a paypal invoice.. Any amount would be appreciated!  Your name will be added to the quilts as well!

COME ON....CANCER SUCKS!.... Make a quilt... .Make a difference!
