The appliqued roses are incredible--I wish you could see them in person! And I wish you could get a sense of how big this pillow is--it is hard to tell in the photo.
Maybe this pic with me in it will give you and idea of the size. (at the risk of looking really weird with no hair and no make-up--oh well--I want you to look at the pillow, not me!)
Anyway, Cori had made this pillow for me in a blog challenge. The blog hop was started by my good friend, Madame Samm of "Sew We Quilt." She is also a sweetheart and called to tell me that I was one of the reasons she started this hop.
You can see Cori's post here. It was all about overcoming breast cancer, and I am honored that she chose me to feature. She is one of my favorite people! And very, very talented! I hope you are familiar with her designs--they are soooo awesome.
I am so grateful for the quilters in my life! You all have added so much to me, and you inspire me daily! Keep on stitching!

You look great Jill!
What a sweet beautiful gift....I know you will treasure it always. I have been cancer free for a little over a year now. I was lucky with my Breast cancer and didn't need chemo or radiation. Just a modified radical mastectomy and 2 lymph nodes removed. I have finally finished my reconstruction. And still trying to get my life back together. It is a hard road to walk when you are diagnosed with cancer. If you ever need to talk please feel free to email me.
Saw her post during the hop! The pillow is even more beautiful with you in the picture than it was when pictured on her blog!!
I also saw the pillow during the hop, and must say it is beautiful! All the best to you from a 9 year survivor.
What a sweet gift - beautiful. Love the pic of you with the pillow. I think you look great. My Mom is a 14 yr survivor - wishing you all the best.
Love the pillow! You look great, even with no hair! Hope you're feeling well, you certainly look like it! xo
That pillow is so gorgeous and such a sweet creation by Cori...love it! Wishing you a continued and swift recovery!
I saw the pillow in the blog hop. What a great friend Cori is and so talented too. The hop was so inspiring! There was a lot of love and support shown during it. I am giving my quilt away to an organization to do a fund raiser with it. Prayers for continued support and recovery for you!
