I am a Cancer Survivor. When I read in my local paper about the Hospice Quilt, I knew I wanted to participate in this project. It's my way of doing something for others suffering from cancer. Three years ago I was told I had ovarian cancer. At first I was shocked and angry. After I accepted it, I knew I wasn't ready to leave this world. After many prayers asking God to help me I made a promise to myself. Enjoy each day and do something useful for someone. Since then, I'm enjoying doing what I love most, making quilts.

I love the challenge of trying new quilt patterns - I guess that's why I enjoyed this hospice quilt so much. What a challenge it has been, I'll always remember this quilt and why I was doing it.

Thanks for letting me be a part of the Hospice Quilt Project. I thank God that he has given me this time to help others and to do what I like to do most.
