Pink is for October

This is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I designed a simple Ribbon block that appears in my upcoming Block a Day Calendar (June 2025 release). It is an October block. (My hot pink crochet yarn insisted on being in this photo!)

Just simple squares and triangles and the shading of two pink prints from the Hugs and Kisses Collection of Benartex Fabrics. They do remind me of Valentine's prints, but pink is universal to me and it's my favorite color!

I also made a Double Hearts Block (appears in the calendar). For some reason, I put it in the January lineup. Hey, but if you make it in January, then it's ready for Valentine's Day in February!

I have raised money for the Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure. I actually did the 3-Day, 60 mile walk in 2001 and survived! Also, here is a poster I designed for a group in Pittsburgh:

I'm hoping to make a few more pink blocks. One is the curvy pink ribbon. Here is a digital quilt I designed for my 2016 quilting calendar. The center block is the curvy Ribbon of Promise.

I'd love to hear about any of these fund raising walks you've participated in! It does us all good to do something small (and big) for such worthy causes.
