I am sure many of us women have been affected by breast cancer either in our families or with one of our friends, lets make some quilts to raise money for breast cancer research, we can help make a difference.

Hi, Sandi - don't you love it when you get a sign?!? Good for you!! I am thinking of perhaps making two wallhangings to donate to our local Womens Health Center where they offer free mammograms for women who have no insurance or are underinsured >> as a THANK YOU gesture.

that is just a brilliant idea!!

i've been searching around my area for the best home for this project and i think you just hit the nail on the head for me.

i found 2 places in my area that provide free mammograms for women in need.

thank you so much for the suggestion.

since i'll be making 2 sets they'll each get a wall hanging.

I did a quilt for a breast cancer benefit auction with out car club last summer. I did it with fabric that was brown w/pink flowers. Also had greens, ivory, pinks, roses; total of 22 different fabrics. I was very happy with it and as a survivor, dedicated it to my mom, who lost her fight and to all those who are fighting. I'll try to get a picture posted. Good luck everyone. I wish I could do the swap but I don't trust myself to get the blocks done on time. Healthwise, I'm just not reliable.

So since this is my first swap, by sampler you mean all 12 blocks can be diffrent correct?

ladygen 01-13-2010 07:52 PM

I'm in for two sets - one is an applique ribbon butterfly, one will be pieced (not sure what yet).

ladygen 01-13-2010 07:54 PM

As I understand it, you make 12 blocks, all identical, and you receive back twelve blocks - all different. Tada, insta-sampler!
