Although, I have been working on new designs for Gitta's Getaway and the NeedleWorkers MarketPlace next weekend, I also managed to finished my "Stitch for a Cure" design. I designed it for my Mom, and all the women in our lives that live with cancer. My mother is a breast cancer survivor (15 years) and then two years ago, just before Christmas, she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. My mother, being my mother and not wanting to spoil everyone's Christmas, had kept this to herself. My mother is a fighter; as well as suffering through chemo and radation therapy, she searched out alternative medicines to boost her immune system. She is a constant inspiration; never giving up. Today her cancer is receeding and she is getting stronger.
I will release this pattern at the NeedleWorkers MarketPlace. It will be $20.00 (cash please), and the entire $20.00 will be donated to the
Credit Valley Hospital Cancer Centre, where my mom received her treatments. The nurses there are exceptional, and this is our ( my mother & my ) way of giving back.
The chart will also be available at the shop and through our website.
