In October of 2019 I was diagnosed out of the blue with cervical cancer. Four months later following major surgery and a painful recovery I was told I was cancer free and would require no further treatment. “What the Hill?” is representative of this period where my world turned upside down. The period from diagnosis to recovery was so short, I barely had time to process what had happened to me. I also wasn’t prepared for how complicated and challenging life after cancer would be. This quilt represents the boulders, big and small, that I’ve navigated every day since that October. It represents the hills that feel hard to climb… and the ones that are starting to feel easier. I’ve learned that physical, emotional, and spiritual healing is not linear. But I’m grateful to still be here to experience all of it - the good and the bad.
