*** THIS RAFFLE IS NOW CLOSED ***

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Nearly six years ago now, my Mum was diagnosed with Stage 3 Multiple Myeloma. It's a blood cancer - one I'd never heard of before - accounting for only 2% of all cancers and is treatable but not currently curable

Mum continues to receive amazing treatment from the NHS, including Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy, and a Stem-cell transplant.  She recently started a further round of chemotherapy and I've been thinking about what could I do to help in some very small way?

When I was little, I spent ages crafting and Mum used to pretty much let me have free rein: at the beginning of the summer holidays she'd set her sewing machine up for me on the dining table, leave out her threads and just let me play. I wonder, now that I have children of my own, quite how my folks felt about us not being able to eat at the dinner table for six weeks, but nothing was ever said  (to me, at least!) and I was happy.

Which brings us to this cushion! It's Myeloma Awareness week from 21st - 27th June and I thought I could share a little quilty love whilst also helping to raise awareness and funds for Myeloma research and support.....

So, I'm raffling off this cushion cover themed in the Myeloma UK colours. I've used fabrics by my favourite designer, Denyse Schmidt (for anyone that's not a quilter, that basically means I've used fabrics that are kept for either special occasions or just to be looked at!!!). The cushion cover finishes at 18" square, has a zip closure, is fully washable and can be used with an 18"-20" cushion pad.

All donations will be sent to Myeloma UK and I will cover the cost of postage (including overseas!).

You can buy a virtual raffle ticket for £2. Because this is a raffle, please do not Gift Aid your donation, leave an email address when making your donation and check the box so we can see your email address to contact you if you are the winner.

The raffle will close at midnight on 27th June 2018 (GMT) and the winner announced the following day.
