Good Morning, Quilters!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Early detection is key! My grandmother found hers early and survived to the ripe old age of 87.

There are so many women who either know someone who has or had breast cancer or have or had it themselves that it is overwhelming to think about. Some families seem to really be hit by it. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and doing the give-away also.

Get your mammograms, ladies – early detection is key to survival.

Pretty in Pink! That phrase evokes so many memories & some mixed emotions: 1) several friends who have had to deal with breast cancer; 2) the sweet movie of the same title; my own teen dance wearing a pink cocktail dress, which I also wore to our Girl’s Chorus spring concert; and my new totally adorable twin great-grand-daughters, born several months ago. I’m sure I could put any pink threads to good use! It’s always a favorite, no matter the shade!
