The project was started two years ago by breast cancer survivor Carol Miller of Russelldale. north ofLondon. “I realized that my work and background in quilting could be a valuable tool to create an opportunity to help other women." said Miller. “I had hoped for 35 quilts minimum and was over whelmed to receive 134 quilts from British Columbia to Quebec.
