Think Pink for those facing the challenge!

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!

I’ve been a breast cancer survivor for 23 years. I’ve been so blessed and thankful for surviving this long. There is so much help for women with this dreadful disease and so proud of the ladies that have fought and won! ?

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

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.

My beloved aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 50. She survived and lived to be 83. She just passed away a year ago and I still miss her terribly. I got my love of sewing and crafting from her.
Pink thread!! Love it, especially now that I have 2 granddaughters.
Debra Robinson

Love the quilting. Pretty in Pink.
Janice Henson
Love pink of any color. I had a dear friend die from breast cancer even though she had all the scans each year. More research is needed for those that have the rare forms. Right now 5 year survival rate is all they have and it isn’t a good 5 years after doing all the things they have to do to live longer. Would love any thing in pink.
Michele Ward
Early detection is key! My mother, sister, aunt and two cousins had breast cancer. My aunt, sister and cousins caught it early! Pretty in Pink!

Both my mother and her mother died died from breast cancer. My mom at the age of 54. I’m 61 now and you can understand that I breathed a big sigh of relief when I turned 52.
Linda Mahoney
I have already had breast cancer – please get screened yearly by a good organization. It is so important to get the best care you can find.
Pink is one of my favorite colors!
