Cancer Mandala Finished

This is a very special gift for my sister-in-law, who was diagnosed with leukemia in September of 2010. I recently found out that the doctors have proclaimed her cancer-free, and that after seven weeks in the hospital, she is back home recovering from the chemo.

The mandala is a free pattern by Ink Circles that can be found here: [link] (click on the picture of the finished pattern on the bottom of the page to download the .pdf of the pattern) . I modified mine for leukemia: [link]

The fabric is 28-count lugana "Stellar" by Picture This Plus [link]

The poem is by an unknown author. I found it here [link] and scripted my own pattern for it. I used alphabets from Kooler Design Studio Item 3688: 365 Alphabets – Cross-stitch all through the Year (out of print – get a used copy if you can find one!) [link] , but forgot to write down which number alphabets I used.
