I contribute to this very thoughtful project by making some "bags" during the year and then donating them to the "Cancer Care Unit" of my dd#2 hospital. In case you don't know how these bags are used and what a difference they make in a cancer sufferers life... click HERE. These 12in x 17in bags are very easy to make and I use up curtain fabric, strong cotton fabric that's been hiding away for years etc... and all but one of the bags I've just made are from donations I received from my SIL. If you have any strong fabric you don't want why not make a bag or two. I'll be happy to pass them on for you. Or if you have too many other projects on your plate maybe you could mail it to me and I'll make a bag or two for you. Either way you'll be making a huge difference!

My friend Shez sent me this pic and I immediately thought of ribbon!
How about you?
She is a very generous person who sews beautifully. Her friend even quilted them for free for her... so another name will be added to the "honour roll" on the BLANKETS of LOVE blog page. Go HERE to see the wonderful quilts O'Faigh made this time. I'm only showing you snippets to whet your appetite.

We make bags very similar to these for a local hospital. Now I actually thought that was a 'doctored' photo and really ribbon!
You do so many good works! I admire you. I wonder if we have such an organization here in the states?
Those bags are wonderful, you have such a beautiful heart, Cheryll!! And so does O'faigh!
Your bags are awesome. You are so sweet to make them for people in need. The blankets of love are so sweet.
