A number of quilting class students had a desire to continue quilting after the fall adult ed class ended and the spring class began, and decided to make lap-robe-size quilts from donated fabrics for the new Jefferson Cary Cancer Center at Cary Medical Center.
The quilts will be gifts for individual patients receiving care at the facility. A total of 36 quilts were presented to Dr. Regen Gallagher, chief medical officer at Cary and cancer center administrator, and Jen Plant, RN, the center’s nurse manager.
Sharon Pelletier, RN, who works in the cancer clinic, helped to make the connection between the quilting group and the hospital. Judy Babbidge is the instructor of the adult education quilting class.
