We Support You Blog Hop! My Day!

Thanks for joining me today on the We Support You Blog Hop!


I have a dear friend who has just finished a round of chemo after surgery for breast cancer. She didn't want anyone making a big deal of it and has gone through her ordeal with quiet grace and dignity. We love you, Betty! My project is for you!
Betty is a sweet, sweet lady with a tiger of a spirit! She is very active in several ministries serving others.




This bag is for hanging in a laundry room to hold clothespins or plastic bags, or hanging in a closet to hold socks, "unmentionables", fabric, shoes, bras (of course!)....anything that will fit! I lined it with the same tiger stripe that the bra is made from. 
The pattern for the applique and embroidery is available from Mdm. Samm. 


This little doll*is to remind all of you that there are "angels" among us thinking of those of you going through your own ordeals. Mdm. Samm of Sew We Quilt and  Pat from Life in the Scrapatch are two of those and have thought of this hop to honor you! You are not alone!

    Your bag is such a fun idea. Imagine seeing that every time you hang some washing! Love it. And I love the fact that you used tigerfabric for the bra and the lining, since your friend has the spirit of a tiger. Amazing work. Thank you for sharing. Hopefully Betty will beat this disease and be well soon.

    Love the tiger fabric for the bra and it sounds like Betty's personality. The bag is a great idea. I do love your doll - she's wonderful with her bibs on. I've always liked dolls but it seems as though they are even more appealing as I get older.
