Too shock to think of anything else
Just found out that one of my err, long time friend which I was the one who made her decide to join me in the same company, was confirmed that she has cancer.
I knew her through when one member called for us locals to meet up. She was one of the first few who I became acquainted. She introduced me to books and authors that I would not have found on my own. She was a very jolly person to be with and she has led a full life in her very young (30 plus) life.
In my own capacity, I have decided to make her a simple, quick disappearing 9-patch summer quilt. I am targeting to complete it by end of September.
Time and tide waits for no man and this time, its ring loud and clear.

Hello, Everyone!
As a member of the 2009 Christmas Challenge, I have been stitching ornaments using my star designs that I am creating for The Americana Stars Memorial, a 9/11 remembrance wall piece that will be over 200 feet when completed, all hand cross stitched. I used one of my designs for a Stitch Pink star. I hope you like it.
When my computer is finally fixed, I will make the design available in .pdf form for anyone who would like it. Please check my blog for an update and a link to the layout to come.
Kim, thank you for a lovely site. It is one of the BEST!
It is my pleasure to contribute in memory of my cousin, Andrea, and her mother, Gloria, who both passed from breast cancer.

Click for a Cure!

During the month of April the Breast Cancer site (in addition to funding mammograms) will donate $10,000 for research if clicks on the site total 200 mammograms. As of this posting they are at 59% of their goal with only 10 days left! Please go there every day and click. Tell your friends and family! During these times it's hard for any of us to donate money so this is a wonderful way to help out. It costs you nothing but a few seconds of your time! You can click 1 time per day. I also have a link on my blog. Please continue to click even after April to help fund mammograms.
While you are there, please also click on the other tabs at the top and then on the button to help literacy, the hungry, animals shelters, etc.
Hugs, Elaine

"Barb's" Needle Nanny
I'm sure this needle minder has been posted numerous times in the past, but I'm assuming it can never get too old to see more than once. I purchased the Needle Nanny by Twisted Oaks Designs a couple years ago. I bought it so I could contribute to breast cancer research AND because my mother-in-law, Barbara, died from breast cancer on June 1, 2006; 11 months after I married her son and after 6 years of friendship. I stitched this shortly after she passed, but put it aside for various reasons...life, kids, work, the normal stuff that gets in our way. Just the other day I sat down and assembled it. Not because I "need" a needle minder, but because I owe it to Barb. Besides, it was because of her and millions of others that I added it to my stash. I enjoyed putting this together and I thought of my friend while doing so. Thanks for letting me share this tribute! Sunday, February 22, 2009
A new ornament

Here is another ornament for my stitching for a cure project. It is the freebie Breast Cancer Awareness 2007 (the middle of the pattern). I stitched it on an overdyed fabric called Pink Raspberry with Hyacinth GAST. In the very center I put a sterling silver charm. I finished the back with pink ribbon fabric and some rhinestone trim. Hope you like!

Pink Tatted Heart

I designed and tatted this heart last March before I found out I had breast cancer in May. I don't know why it hasn't occurred to me before now to post it for you. I have been so blessed. I had a lumpectomy and they are checking me every 3 months. If only every woman in the world had access to early detection and WOULD MAKE AND KEEP THEIR APPOINTMENTS!
Okay no more preaching. I just wanted to share this heart with you. If any of you tat, you can find the pattern here. If you do tat it, I'd love to see pictures.

Clicks are even more important in October!

As you can see, clicks at TheBreastCancerSite.com are even more important in October. They count double! You can sign up at the site for daily email reminders. Or just come here to Stitch Pink. You will find the link below the memory candles on the right side. I also have a link on my blog.
They are at 44% with 18 days left. It would be a shame to not reach the goal when all it takes is a few seconds of our time. :o)

Donna - Peace Love And A Cure
Received this email from Donna ~
Hello! My name is Donna and I am a member of the Yahoo I love cross stitch group. I stitched this piece for Relay For Life auction to raise money for cancer awareness. It will be auctioned off on Oct. 25th. It has an autographed copy of the pattern. I work for a non-profit blood bank and cancer hits home everyday. 75% of blood used is used by cancer patients. If we could eradicate cancer, I could possibly be put out of a job. That is a chance I am willing to take!
Thanks for sharing your blog. I loved it.
