From Wilma's Sister: I came up with the idea of selling leaves and putting them on a quilted tree. The leaves were $5.00 each and individuals could write their name or the name of a loved one on the leaf. The color of the ink used indicated whether they were a survivor, someone whose life had been touched by cancer, or someone lost to cancer.
We sold approximately $1,200 worth of leaves and our company matched our donations and purchased the quilt. The quilt was my first attempt at both applique and machine quilting.
