Season of Living

Do you ever feel as if you're a pawn on some big cosmic checkerboard of life? My life has been so blessed, I can't imagine some of the things families have to go through, including breast cancer. Thankfully, great strides have been made with all the research in detecting, and finding cures for breast cancer.
Northcott Fabrics is donating a portion of the price of their Quest for a Cure fabric line to breast cancer research both in the USA and in Canada.
Using their fabrics, I came up with a new pillow panel called Season of Living...because you just never know where you'll end up.
While the panel is complete, the pattern isn't yet. It's on my list of things to do...
This panel was inspired by my Aunt Jan. She lost her mother to cancer of the tongue...her mother would be my grandmother. We sure miss her, and my Aunt Jan's idea was to have something for the family who would like to remember their loved one.
There are many ways to do this which will be included in the pattern. For now, I've used scripture that should provide encouragement to the breast cancer patient who is undergoing treatment.
I will let you know when the pattern is ready at FearNotPatternCo.com

Here's hoping there will be a generation that will never know cancer! And a huge thank You to my Creator for a very blessed life, along with  prayers for the families whose lives have been afflicted by this disease. May the funds from the purchase of this fabric really make a dent in the quest for a cure!!!
AMEN!

Song of Hope...

The pattern for Song of Hope is nearly done. It's in the proofreading stages right now. I'm so hopeful that this pillow pattern will bless women who have had or will undergo a mastectomy. The pattern will be available at FearNotPatternCo.com very shortly...
There are two other patterns  in the works that will be using Northcott's Quest For A Cure fabric line. My aunt, who lost her mother to cancer, (my grandmother), thought it would be nice to have something In Memory Of....
That design is currently being sewn together, but will have multiple uses but more on that later.

 In my opinion, cancer isn't for pansies. The third will talk about that but will be for someone who just wants to purchase this lovely fabric so they can help with the cause...
And give us all HOPE!

Remember, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Northcott's Quest For A Cure fabric line is already available.
