Yesterday my friend Lynne asked me to do her a favour. Could I go to the Breast clinic for her? I was a bit confused to say the least, as I really can't have a mammogram for her and I'm not sure I would if I could! Anyway she explained it was not to have a mammogram but to drop in a quilt block she has made, for a new quilt to go on display at the clinic. OK I could do that!
Lynne told me to have a look at a Kiwiana Quilt that is hanging on the wall while I was there. Lynne made the lizard block in this quilt.
It was a bit sunny so this photos not the best, but I wanted you to see it too. (Without having to have a mammogram!)

(see Lynne's Lizard block, its the green one in bottom right hand corner)
And a couple of close ups of blocks on the bottom row so you can see the superb quilting.
Now that was better than being squished, wasn't it. :-)
PS: I had a bit of a tidy up of the blogs side bar (right handside). I've added a list of Blogs, some new Websites, and links to Merchants. Check them out.
wow that is lovely, really neat quilting.EQ7
ReplyDeleteOh Leeann that looks so good. I have to confess, I only did one of the blocks (not two). The lizards are mine! Thanks for delivering the other block for the next quilt, and next time I need a mammogram I wonder if you would do me a favour...........
ReplyDeleteI like the block Lynne has done too. There is another lovely quilt 'deeper' down in the clinic too; from memory I think it is a pink one made from breast cancer fabrics...
ReplyDeleteThanks for that Lynne I have amended the post to highlight your Lizards.
ReplyDeleteTo Raewyn I haven't had the "pleasure" of using the Breast Clinic services yet so I'll take your word for it!
Thats awsome, would love to see the breast quilt when its finished too EQ7
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and I love Lynne's pink ribbon block EQ7
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt and you are right...the quilting on it is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a very interesting quilt. Thanks for sharing about it. EQ7
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sentiment--literal and figurative! thanks for sharing with us!!
ReplyDeleteI'm involved with making quilts for breast cancer patients locally; it's very rewarding. EQ7!
ReplyDeleteThey should hang quilts like that next to the mammogram machines - then there would be something lovely to look at so getting squished wouldn't seem so bad. :-)

ReplyDeleteI'd rather drop off a block than have a mammogram any day! (EQ7)
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing closeups so that we don't have to go have a mamogram to see it! LOL :) so glad that you didn't have to have one either... I've only had one when I was in my 20's as a baseline b/c 2 of my cousins both had breast cancer in their late 20's and oh my I hope I don't have to have another for a looooong time! OUCH!
