Good Morning, Quilters!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Statistics show that 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime…that means that 1250 of The Inbox Jaunt’s 10,000 followers will face breast cancer!
The best way to fight breast cancer is to have a plan that helps you detect breast cancer in its early stages.

Obviously this post touched a nerve. I’m due for my mammogram in a few months, and I’m scheduling it today.

My daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer seven years ago. Two years ago it traveled to her hip bone. We live Pet Scan to Pet Scan. I love that you are supporting breast cancer.

I am a quilter and I also crochet. I crochet pink ribbon prayer squares that i give to people I know who are going through treatment or have had breast cancer. I’ve also made some pink quilts, and have some in the works, so can use the thread. Thanks for the chance to win.

I’m a breast cancer survivor, and a very fortunate one at that. Early detection that I found myself. Please, ladies, get your mammies grammed and do your self exams routinely.

I am a 2 time survivor. 20 years out and 10 years out. A painful lump at age 48 got me to the doctor. Trust your instincts and don’t avoid getting checked! Every day is a gift.
