Teresa Anna’s Quilt
May 31st, 2006 by Bumble Bee Quilting
This quilt is for all families & friends of loved ones who have undergone the treatment for Breast Cancer.
Some have fought the fight, only to fall at the final hurdle, some are still fighting.
Why the ‘Teresa Anna Quilt’, well my friend Teresa is one of the latter, still fighting! but what a fight it is.
Last August Teresa was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and since that time has undergone an operation, Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy and has just started on another chemical barage to her weakened body… yet through all the pain and discomfit she can still laugh and see the funny side to most things in her life. (and still plays a mean game of Dominos)
With your help I can use this Quilt to help the research into cures and ways of helping people like Teresa.
OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
I would like to complete the quilt by October so the sooner you can return the Square to me the better.
The return address is

NB… Could you enclose the square in a plastic bag… being mindful of the weather.
If you have to fold it to post it can you be minimal.
Flat or Rolled would be best.
Thanks

Between now and October I will be finding out the best way to raise money for the Quilt - Auction / Raffle etc. Any Ideas?
This free pack of fabric is enough with some addition of your own stash to create two matching 12“ x 12” squares (plus seam allowance)
… one to be sent back to me to be included in ‘Teresa Anna’s Quilt’ the second to be completed as a cushion and given to the person, or family of, for whom you Undertake this challange.
Each square sent back to me must be complete ie. any design of your choice Foundation, Traditional or Applique. wadded with 2oz polyester wadding and quilted. 12¼“ x 12¼” finished size.
Please include on the back of the square the name of the person in your thoughts as you complete this square… feel free to add a fabric photo or an embroidered message on the back as well.
