I am making a memory quilt for my Great granddaughter. I’m having all of her relatives, I grandparents; great-great grandparents to cousins sign a fabric square so I can make a heart quilt for her. She recently told me she wants a pink heart quilt so this pattern and ideas are perfect for it. I ordered the pattern and template when I saw the email. It isn’t a cancer thing but I felt it would be great way to have a memory of her grandparents for years to come.
My Granddaughter has POTS and she has a port, so I made her one. I'm a Breast Cancer survivor and I still have my port and this pillow would help so much
I make these for chemo patients at the facility where I had chemo treatments last year. My way of giving back. I used mine all the time. One year cancer free.
Ports can be so painful when they are first placed. Also if you need to keep it accessed for a longer time the pillow is a life saver! Thank you so much! I have had my port for 5 years now.
My infusion clinic gave me a big, clear plastic tote to put all my stuff in! They have the best schwag. I take a blanket with me, iPad, headphones, and I used to bring snacks, but not anymore with COVID.
Good to see this. I made port pillows for anyone at the Rheumatology’s infusion center. You should attach the pillow on the seatbelt higher than your port, so the seatbelt is lifted over the port. Thanks!
I made a port pillow a few years ago for my sister in law when she under went Chemo....I also made a quilt for her with pockets for chargers, candy (ginger) to help with nausea when she went for treatment....I know how much these items are needed.
I am making this pink hearts quilt for my child's teacher and her new baby girl. They can write messages on the quilt squares over her entire life. I just loved this idea. From stitches to graduations this will mark the moments of a full life. Thank you for such a great idea.
Ladies thank you sooo much for this video. I have stage 4 carlangio carsinoma (toumors in my bike ducts to my liver) Fighting now for 3 1/2 years. My ribbon is green. I will absolutely try to make one of the pillows! Ports do get quite sore sometimes. My motto is "KEEP ON KEEPING ON". Just might put that on there! THANKS AGAIN 💚😊
My Mom loves to take a drive every day. She was diagnosed with ALS in July. She had a port put in for infusion therapy and the seat belt has made her daily drive uncomfortable. I'm going to make her one of these port pillows! Thank you ladies 😊
As an ex chemo-nurse it might be good to make a small pillow and then use the pattern you have as a removable/washable cover. It is a great idea. My quilt group used to make (pre-covid) a pouch for a chemo pumps used in bowel cancer. Always good to do and lets people know others care. If you give them to hospitals, please put a message and name with it because it matters.
If you add another charm to this pillow, and center your velcro you can make a wonderful seltbelt cover for those of us who are vertically challenged (short) and the strap cuts across our necks.. I used to abhor wearing my seatbelt especially if we had to drive any kind of distance as i would arrive with a huge red mark on my neck where it had been rubbing. i made one and now all i feel is the fuzzy of the back that i made it with!
I'm from Argentina, where quilting is not so big as in the USA. Our most famous quilter, Cecilia Koppman, recently shared her story. She created a quilt (Rayos y Centellas) while she was going through cancer treatment. She will create a block every day during the treatment and she ended up with a beautiful quilt at the end of the process. She stresses the healing power of creating something and the fact that having a final product gives this process a closure. She shared her story because she started a quilt along project during quarantine (quilt de la cuarentena = quarantine quilt). Over 600 people from all over the world joined her (me included) and we created a quilt one block a day while locked down! Amazing idea!
The very first quily I made was a breast cancer ribbon quilt from following your pattern.. I did the ribbon first and built blocks around it with different breast cancer fabrics.. The recipient didnt get to see it before she oassed but her daughter has it and loves it. Thank you for all your inspirations!!
I made a signature quilt with my daughter for a baby quilt. We had everyone sign a piece of paper in finished square size, then scanned all signatures, digitized them, and then used my embroidery machine to embroider every signature on the finished square. This could be done in the hearts
I would have loved this when I had my 4 shoulder surgeries! I kept thick towels in the car to wrap around the seat belt where it rubbed against me. This would have been perfect and certainly more attractive! Thank you for coming up with this for all those who would benefit from it!
There is also heart shaped pillow that gets stuffed with fiber fill which after mastectomy surgery it goes under the arm pit so the upper arm can relax and not press on the surgical area. It’s awesome with soft fabric❣️ My cousin made 2 sets for me after double mastectomy ( a 2nd set was helpful when the other set needed washing). I in turn made same for a niece who also needed a double mastectomy. We all loved the helpfulness of the pillows. TLC💞 to share.
Hope the T-shirts will come in more sizes soon! Sad that beautiful Jim Shore ornament is "sold out forever". Lost my mother to metastatic breast cancer in 2016, so pink ribbons are extra special to me. 💗
Earlier this year I finished chemo for ovarian cancer, I didn't have a port but a PICC line in my arm, chemo days were so hard, but i had my mom there to keep me company. I think im gonna make some of these and bring them along on my next checkup.
Thank you for drawing our attention to breast cancer awareness - something we know about but may not be focused on...my family has been been hit hard with this illness over the years. I have many aunts and cousins that have heard those awful words. The men have not been immune....they have had more than their share of different kinds of cancer. Bless you Jenny and all of Missouri Star❣️
Hi Jenny & Mistey love your tuturials ,excellent idea for the port pillow , I have a pacemaker & found the seat belt presses on it so I made myself a smaller padded one that wraps over seat belt with velcro all these ideas help thank you , love to all your family & staff , from down under here in Queensland Australia stay safe xx😚😘
Misty & Jenny, thanks so much for all your suggestions. I have recently befriended a young woman (whom I don't know personally who lives in IA that is going thru Chemo in a week or so. This would be an amazing idea (This Port Pillow) to put into her quilt I am sending to her! ****************************************************** I've noticed that Jenny seems to be losing weight and I am really worried about this. I remember Jenny having bruises on her arms several weeks ago, during a couple of tutorials (Friday tutorials). PLEASE let us know if there's something wrong. We truly adore our Jenny and want nothing to happen to her!
Good morning from University Place, WA! I made comfort pillows for my sister when she was going through her breast cancer journey. Looking forward to Misty’s take!
Good morning-I love and appreciate all of these wonderful ideas and tutorials! I consider myself a confident beginning quilter as I started on this quilting journey about 4 years ago and absolutely love it! I hope one day when I retire to make to items such port pillows, Quilts for Kids, etc. Thank you for the wonderful idea about using writing with words with Micron pens. I have been trying to think of a way to add a label on the quilts I make for my children and grandson with my handwriting on it and I think I just found it! Do you think the method Jenny showed using HeatnBond and Micron pens would work for a quilt label as well? Thanks again for everything! sending y'all love and best wishes from South Carolina! Stay well and safe!
I love this project! I made something similar for both my sister and my son-in-law for their ports. They both had ports for such a long time that these really came in handy. As they were going through chemo, we were asked to make several more. I think all in all we donated a few dozen to each of the sites. They are so needed. I do have one question though for all of your "pink" items. Are you sending any donations from your sales?
I love you all and I used one of your designs to make a quilt for my daughter who is now breast cancer free. So this is kinda of funny, not funny, but humor is how I am able to journey forward with Metatastic Melanoma. Three years I have been through 3 diagnosis and surgeries, but have now just had my LAST chemo (Immune Therapy, the only therapy, at this time for a possible cure) Well, blah, blah, blah...all this to tell you that one day I thought well I will just look and see what the color ribbon is for Melanoma...it's black... not a fun pink or aqua, black. We gotta think of some way to make a happy black quilt...otherwise I'm just going with another color! Ha Ha...Love you all to the moon and back for all you do! Your amazing and I'm headed that way when you open up your sweet town...
I am with Jenny all the way, I hate tappers too. My family often sit round the dining table tapping their fingers or cutlery, knowing it drives me nuts. My grandma used to call it, “the Devils tattoo”, and she would tell her children off for tapping.
when my mother had cancer i had to go down to Florida to take care of her. which meant i had to leave my family here in Nebraska. One thing i took with me was a small teddy bear that i had sprayed with my husband's cologne. And i had sprayed my pillow at home with my perfume for him. I had to be away for 6 months with only 1 weekend visit. it was so hard on us. But 30 yrs later i still have that teddy bear sitting on my headboard. he kept me going through the darkest of times when my husband couldn't be there physically. I can't bare to desert him.
They are offered on their website, currently unavailable. As they said, add it to your “wish list” an they will email you when they become available www.missouriquiltco.com/
Did signature-style quilt using micron & other pens. Found that ironing them helped them to resist fading when (after finishing quilt to wash out fabric starch/surrender) gently washed.
I am going to make this for a dear friend who could use a port pillow now. I had never heard of this before. Thanks for a great video.
Love all these tutorials. I’m addicted to these shows. Jenny you are looking so good. Looks like you’ve lost a lot of weight.
Hope everything is good

I love this!! My 33 year old daughter just started chemo for breast cancer. Thank you for all you do💖💖💖
I enjoy Jenny and Misty doing videos together.
My Granddaughter has POTS and she has a port, so I made her one. I'm a Breast Cancer survivor and I still have my port and this pillow would help so much
I love to see Jenny and Misti working together. I had a great mother-in-law and we always got along well. I really miss her now.
My husband is going thru chemo for pancreatic cancer and I made him a port pillow, thank you for this idea.
I make these for chemo patients at the facility where I had chemo treatments last year. My way of giving back. I used mine all the time. One year cancer free.
Ports can be so painful when they are first placed. Also if you need to keep it accessed for a longer time the pillow is a life saver! Thank you so much! I have had my port for 5 years now.
Because my chemo infusion sessions were so long, 6-8 hours, I looked like a pack mule taking my lunch, iPad, books, handwork, etc, with me!
Mickie, wishing you the best on your treatment journey. I am a 9 year survivor and cherish life knowing that the journey is long and arduous. Hugs!
❤️
My infusion clinic gave me a big, clear plastic tote to put all my stuff in! They have the best schwag.

Teachers make a difference
I still remember my third grade teacher and it's been at least 45 yrs

Bits'nbobs Thanks for the tip of making a removable cover. Easy to do!
Adorable and great ideas

The port pillow is such a great idea. I am constantly moving my seat belt around to prevent it rubbing on my port.
This was so cool! Thank you!
Thanks so much, my Mom passed away from Cancer so this is very special to me. Stay strong for all the ladies going through treatment currently.
Hi I'm from South Africa. Love your videos.
My mom and I have made these for a few years. We use flannel on at least one side. We recommend stitching around twice.

I started chemo in August and was thinking I needed something to protect my port from the seat belt! Thank you so much for this!

On the port pillow, you could write 'Me' and on the other 'You'. It would be like being there with them.
Hello from North West New South Wales, Australia! I'm enjoying your videos too.
I made a few dozen port pillows for the cancer society here at home. Easy to make a mean so much
Hope the T-shirts will come in more sizes soon! Sad that beautiful Jim Shore ornament is "sold out forever". Lost my mother to metastatic breast cancer in 2016, so pink ribbons are extra special to me. 💗

I had bilateral mastectomy, the pillows also are good for wearing where the seat belt goes across the scars, after 3 years that still bothers me.
