In the Evans' Colleyville home, what was once a guest bedroom is now Kay Evans' sewing room.

"I had not sewn in 30 years," Evans said. "I was trying to find something to, you know, fill my time, and my neighbor happened to have an old sewing machine. So I asked if I could borrow it."

Evans said it was a bit like riding a bike. She started sewing baby bibs and burp cloths to donate to NICU families, then branched out to more personal projects. Evans began sewing port pillows to help cushion cancer patients' seatbelts.

"My heart is so full! I just love being able to do this," Evans said. "But Lilly is always with me. I always know she's around me."
