When breast cancer strikes someone close to us we usually feel the need to do something.
Offering our support comes in many forms including a meal, a listening ear, a laugh, or whatever is
appropriate for the person in the middle of their crisis. It's all about them...as it should be!
Quilters have big hearts and willingly share their love by getting creative with fabric, so
Madame Samm at Sew We Quilt created the perfect hop to give us ideas for supportive creations.
Pat from Life in The Scrapatch is here to cheer us on. Thanks to both of you for this great hop!
I've been obsessed in love with the Alexander Henry Ghastlie Garden fabric that came out last
year and can't seem to get enough of sewing with it. With a little pink in it, I thought it was just the
right choice of fabric to use for my quilt and bags. I really do love those flowers!
A little zippered bag would be wonderful for stuffing with happy and positive thoughts
from friends and family. Madame Samm's little bra pattern just makes me smile when I see it!
Missouri Quilt Company has an easy tutorial for a zippered bag...HERE.
Hugs and Kisses For You!
I found this cute free pattern over at Windham Fabrics...HERE.
It was beautifully quilted by Quilted Works.
A big pocket tote bag would be helpful for filling with snacks or whatever for the doctor visits.
Making it big enough to hold a small comfort quilt would be even better!
I hope to see the end of cancer in my lifetime, don't you!
(The "We Support You" Friendship Quilt Pattern is available for purchase
for $12.00 by emailing Madame Samm directly at madamesamm@me.com)

ReplyDeleteWow, Carol! Your bags and quilt are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCute pouch. The tote is so fun, especially the fabric and placement of the print. Made me smile. Lovely quilt. At first I thought the blocks were the paper pieced blocks we did for last year's Valentines Day hop. Quilting is neat too.
ReplyDeleteX's and O's is a beautiful quilt. I like your bags and your different bikini tops. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGreat projects, Carol! I love the idea of the little zippered pouch and the X's and O's is such a pretty quilt!

ReplyDeleteAnyone can see there is nothing like support when it comes to small bags, I love them they are just great. The X'sand O's quilt just stand out with the lovely quilting. Great Job Carol.
ReplyDeleteCarol. Love what you did! Those bras are awesome. We would never have done something like this 20 years ago, huh? Thanks for sharing and for the fun pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe tote is precious and love the color combo.

ReplyDeleteSew lovely, Carol! I really like this choice of fabric for your projects. The floral looks wonderful with the pink. As always, your pattern choice and workmanship is perfect. I love looking at all those pretty little details. Thank you for the links to the patterns. Now that I have actually learned how to use my zipper foot I am going to be making one of those cute zippered bags to tuck in my tote bag. A big THANK YOU for sewing your support in this hop ... {{{quilty hugs}}} ... <3 Pat

ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful pattern and gives you creative people so much license to 'decorate' - don't you just love frills? My grandmother and my sister (10 years my junior) both died from breast cancer so it's way too close to me. REMEMBER...do your mamms and visit your doctor regularly for checkups.
ReplyDeleteSupport the cause and the girls!
Seeing the end of cancer! Yes, that would be wonderful indeed! You projects are lovely!

Carol you did a beautiful job on making lovely gifts from the cute pattern that was supplied ,everything that you made would be very helpful for someone going through Breast Cancer. Thanks for your support from a 1o year survior of Breast Cancer. Everyday I pray for a cure for all cancers. Blessings Sandra
ReplyDeleteCarol, you did such a beautiful job with your bags and that sweet quilt. It will bring a sweet smile and comfort to someone who is going through a difficult time in their life.

ReplyDeleteCarol, I'm behind in supporting those participating in the blog. I love your tote and quilt. How perfect for treatment visits. When I went through the radiation portion of my breast cancer treatment, a small local church donated a small quilt to each person to wrap around her from the dressing room to the radiation room. It was ours to bring home at the end of the treatment. I thought that quilt was the ugliest quilt I had ever seen in my life. Yet, having made one quilt, I knew someone cared enough about me to make the quilt. I grew to cherish that quilt. I'm sure that small church was using, as do charity quilters, what was donated. It changed my perception of many things. My father-in-law and his only sibling a brother each had breast cancer, too. Thank you for participating and another wonderful project.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful projects! Thanks for sharing your creations and talents with us and for being such a supportive person.
ReplyDeleteAs usually you have been a very busy and creative lady. I lover your purse and bag and the quilt is adorable. Thanks for sharing and being part of this hop.
ReplyDeleteAm loving your creations!!!
