This amazing ornament was done by Kathi, on etsy her shop is named unclebuyme as well as her web-page.
Why Uncle Buy Me? Its long and sad story. When Kathi's sister was pregnant her husband bought her a HUGE box filled with two shopping carts worth of toys and items from Toys R Us. After their nephew was born her husband would always buy the best gifts for him -- and so -- he would appropriately call him: Uncle Buy Me! Kathi's sister passed away from breast cancer at only 43-years-old with a then 9-year-old son. She will forever remember the long days and nights sitting with her sister at the hospital making quilted ornaments, decorating hospital room and hanging the ornaments from IV pole. And so, the name Uncle Buy Me is in honor and memory of Kathi's sister. In Kathi's shop you can find some brest cancer awareness ornaments:

I cannot thank you enough for highlighting my quilted ornaments and for writing about my sister, Susan. (I almost picked up the phone to call and tell her to look at this -- she really would have loved this blog!)
