This past week my mailbox has had lots of goodies in it for me!
I received two stitched quilt squares.
This one was made by Linda:
I photographed it on an angle, so it looks a little crooked, but it is very beautiful in real life.
Linda stitched this in honor of her mother, Isabella (isn't that a beautiful name?). Isabella was a very crafty woman and loved to sew, esp. to quilt. Linda loves to cross stitch so she thought that this was a great way to honor her mother, who died Nov. 2, 2008 from pancreatic cancer. I think it is a great way also!
This square was made by Zerelda:
Zerelda stitched this in honor of Mac Parker, who died in 2006 of pancreatic cancer. Mac loved his family and his dogs with all his heart and is missed by many.
I also received 4 pillows made by Jeanine. She is the tumor register person at a major hospital in Texas. You have seen her beautiful ornaments and her quilt square. Now she has these wonderful pillows. Jeanine sees cancer at it's worst everyday. She says this gives her something to stitch for!
She also made this biscornu pillow. The stitching on both sides is just fabulous!:
I also received these ornaments from Olga. While the tree has already been raffled off, these will be great silent auction items for the team captains' meetings next year. Several people wanted an ornament, but didn't necessarily want the whole tree!
Thanks to all who have contributed! It makes my day, my week, my year to see how many people care so much for people they don't know.

Oh honey, those are wonderful!! It's so great to see all of this come together from so many people!
Wonderful!!! Love the purple material too.
Beautiful squares and beautiful ornaments also. I think you could make lots of money doing the ornaments separately and giving people a chance to buy them!
So many wonderful beautiful things to help the cause.
Wow - what beautiful work - I'm in awe of those lovely pillows and ornaments!
Absolutely beautiful pieces Donna. Hope you raise lots more money for the cause. :0)
Those are all awesome! Are the first two the same pattern?
Let me know if you still need quilt squares to be stitched.I would love to help.
