I was approached by my ex-husband's sister about making this quilt for a sick 13 year old.
Owen was undergoing treatment for Leukemia and his basketball team wanted to do something special for him. They got together with the entire Nashua, NH biddy basketball league and decided to retire his #2 jersey for the year for all teams and donated them for a t-shirt quilt. I was lucky enough and got to attend the awards ceremony and got to present Owen with his quilt alongside the coach.
As well as presenting Owen with his quilt I decided to make another quilt for Owen's mother who also was undergoing treatment for Ovarian Cancer at the same time as Owen was undergoing his treatment.
It was very rewarding getting to see them and give them both their quilts.
