Ten-year Road to California attendees, these sisters didn\u2019t let Cancer get in the way of their family quilt bonding time. They were interested in researching new projects and finding things they didn\u2019t have yet. For the past 8 months, Brenda has been being treated for Periteneal Cancer- cancer of the stomach lining. She started quilting after she retired in 20013. Jeri learned to quilt from a friend at her work. Both Brenda and Jeri\u2019s first quilts were patterns from Eleanor Burns\u2019 Quilt in a Day.<\/a> Quilting has kept Brenda going through her chemotherapy treatments. \u201cI\u2019m not ready to die yet\u2014I have too many quilts yet to make.\u201d    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
