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.

Your pinks are beautiful! I'm sorry to hear that you'll be going through treatment. A gift to yourself and a busy project sounds like just the thing to keep your mind busy? :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Fabrics Marion...Glad you will have something to keep you busy...
ReplyDeleteTake Care
So sorry to hear you are having BC treatment (((hugs))). The pinks and your stitching sound like a lovely combo to keep you occupied. And I totally agree about the More Color feature - very clever!
ReplyDeleteThe pile of pinks are gorgeous together, what a lovely idea and I wish you the very best, take care.
ReplyDeleteWhat 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!)
ReplyDeleteBless 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.
ReplyDeleteHappy Stitching,
Cheri
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!!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as though you have the right attitude to conquer the challenge ahead. Enjoy your pink corners.
