In the Pink


My stash of pink fabrics is thinner than most, but I have decided to take some license and make the four corner blocks of Roseville mostly pink because I will be working on them as I undergo treatment for breast cancer. Quilting is absolutely the best medicine! If others of you have not yet made use of the "More Color" link on the Glorious Color homepage, http://morecloth.com/gloriouscolor/, I want to put in a plug for it here. It was easy for me to find a nice range of pink fabrics by clicking on the bars that looked most promising. Here is the additional stash that arrived yesterday.

  5. What a great idea & a lovely group of fabrics--it'll be fun to see the blocks done with a different color emphasis. I'm glad you joined us! (And hope you will be feeling back "in the pink" in no time!)

  6. Bless you Marion, the pink corners are a wonderful idea. I agree, quilting is the best medicine. Thanks for the More Color link, I definitely need more red in my little Kaffe stash.
    Happy Stitching,

  7. Marion - LOVE and blessings to you! (I have a good friend who is fighting against breast cancer EVERY day.) One of the things I like best about quilting is just how personal we can make/create a quilt. You GO!!!
