A Year of Pillow Cases - HOW TO MAKE EASY PILLOW CASE

What are the key statistics for childhood cancer?

Childhood cancers make up less than 1% of all cancers diagnosed each year. About 11,630 children in the United States under the age of 15 will be diagnosed with cancer in 2013. Childhood cancer rates have been rising slightly for the past few decades.

Because of major treatment advances in recent decades, more than 80% of children with cancer now survive 5 years or more. Overall, this is a huge increase since the mid-1970s, when the 5-year survival rate was less than 60%. Still, survival rates vary depending on the type of cancer and other factors. Survival rates for different cancer types are listed in the section, “Surviving childhood cancer.”

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in children younger than 15 years old (after accidents). About 1,310 children are expected to die from cancer in 2013.

If you sew / quilt,  make blocks, or quilt tops or a finished quilt.   We use many blocks for "sampler" quilt tops.  

Donate Fabric... 100 % cotton fabric. 

If you wish to purchase just ask the shop owner or staff to be sure it's the right type of fabric.

We work with groups all across the country and encourage quilts to stay in the local communities of the volunteers.

Jim & Barb Johnston have faced cancer personally.   Barb at the age of 34, and so many others in their families, from 3 months to 84 loved ones suffered from this disease.

Jim and Barb want to see every person with cancer in the USA to receive comfort in simple quilts.  The Johnston's retired to Pahrump NV  In 2000, from Lockport (Buffalo) New York.   

People with cancer, especially Children, Comfort & Community need project are funded with special fundraising events.
