Ever play that game as a child? No? No big deal, because that's not what this post is about.
This year, there have been so many blessings for me throughout my cancer journey. Cards, gifts, emails, good vibes and prayers all came my way, and many of them were from people like you, dear reader. People I have never met in person but who I have met online.
While I've been blessed, I've also had a lot of not-so-quality time here at home. Time where I didn't feel like I could handle a job, but time where I needed something to do.
Remember the post about the string quilt? It was so successful that I decided that I really wanted to join in with other charity events when they came my way.
Enter Sarah Craig, a fellow breast cancer survivor from the same area. She hosts an event each year called the Hands2Help project, and quilters like me have the perfect opportunity to make something for a good cause. This year, there were two options, and you can read about them
here if you like. If you are a quilter (or know someone who is), then you can always join in and offer up your own donation. I made a quilt for the second option, Happy Chemo. I've done my time in that chair, and I know what it's all about. Here's to hoping that someone else can have a better chemo day because they can cuddle up under my quilt.
I have to say a big thanks to Sarah, because without her, I never would have known about this opportunity for me to make a quilt for someone else, and this baby might have stayed in my UFO pile for another year. Yes, that's right, I made this quilt top last year when I first decided to start quilting, but I didn't need it, and didn't really know what to do with it.
Until now.
And that makes me happy.
