It is amazing how many quilters have been touched by breast cancer, whether it's as a patient, a caregiver, or a survivor. As a breast-cancer survivor, quilting has played a very important part in my recovery, and it continues to foster my ongoing positive attitude. Quilting can spark our creativity, give us goals, focus our attention on positive projects, and bring us together with other quilters. If you know a friend of loved one who has had an experience with breast cancer, pick up some fabric and make a quilt block from Pink Ribbon Quilts. When your friend receives your gift, it will brighten her day. Or try gathering several friends together to make a quilt to raise money for breast-cancer research. All of us can make a contribution in the fight against breast cancer.
