How Many Heart Pillows Can We Make for Breast Cancer Awareness Month? We need your help!
October is here, costumed in it's usual orange and black, but we're seeing PINK! It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Pink ribbons and messages of hope and strength signal an opportunity to do our part to help find a cure, and support those fighting the battle against breast cancer. We have all been affected by breast cancer, whether we've fought the fight firsthand or stood by a loved one as they bravely battle. We hope you'll join us in a special project that will directly benefit those receiving breast cancer care.
We've set a goal to make and donate 100 heart-shaped pillows for local hospitals to give breast cancer patients and we need your help! Friday, October 8th & Saturday, October 9th, we're dedicating our Schoolhouse to our pillow making project! The heart shape is ideal for placement under the arm for comfort and support post-procedure. Stop in our Schoolhouse next weekend where we'll provide a pattern, fabric (while supplies last), stuffing, thread and needles for pillow-making. We will also have a great selection of PINK fabrics available those days at 20% off for those making pillows so you can make more pillows or even make a lap quilt to wrap a patient in love during treatment and recovery! Bring the girls, load up the sewing machines and lets see how many pillows we can make at the Corn Wagon! No registration needed, just come and sew during our regular business hours -- open house style -- October 8th and 9th. Don't forget to schedule your mammogram first!
We will be accepting pillow donations through the end of October so if you can't come sew with us next weekend, we encourage you to sew some at home using one of many free patterns available online. We'll be using this free pattern from Shannon Fabrics to create a simple 100% cotton pillow (the pillow insert made using Shannon's guide) whose heart shape and size is just right for it's intended use. You'll even find a great tutorial using the link above! You can make three pillows from 1/2 yard of fabric so it only takes a little to make a big difference in someone's breast cancer care.
Beginning next weekend, you'll also find a fun selection of pink fabrics and gifts available at the Quilt Shop and Quilter's Mercantile! Riley Blake Designs is donating $10,000 to advance breast cancer research and the Hope in Bloom collection of fabric and gifts celebrates that partnership. Katherine Lenius was invited by Riley Blake to design a fabric collection for a special collaboration with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.We are delighted to offer it here at the shop! Of this collection, Katherine says, "Hope in Bloom gathers up all the wishes I would share with those who have faced breast cancer and ties a pink ribbon around a bouquet of hope, strength, faith, courage, and support. I hope these images and words of encouragement bring comfort and some joy as we fight to find a cure to this disease that has affected so many families, including my own." Aren't these a perfect choice for pillow making? Riley Blake has donated some of this cute fabric to our pillow-making cause. Thank you Riley Blake!
