Breast Cancer Month- Pink Quilts
October,, It's Breast Cancer Awareness month. This page of pink and white quilts was created to bring attention to the disease that affects so many women and some men. As is known, the pink ribbon is an international symbol of Breast Cancer Awareness and the color pink identifies those in support of the cause. There are few that remain untouchd by the disease in some way or another. It may be a friend, a mother, a sister, a relative and just an overwhelming number of women that have been affected. ( I actually thought of doing this page, as my husband was watching the PBR, Professional Bull Riders, and the riders participating in the event were wearing pink shirts in support of this cause.) The saying "Tough Enough to Wear Pink", shows their support among the men of this sport and they all had on pink! This cause is well known among the western industry as the participants at the National Finals Rodeo in Vegas will also have a pink go round...... With thought of this "Pink" page , I have decided to leave this page on year long, as breast cancer awareness is a constant issue.
Springtime Blossoms Crib/Doll Quilt
Offering this original crib quilt, Springtime Blossoms. The pink and white small quilt has fabrics of double pink and a small scale shirting print. The quilt is in excellent condition, having a couple spots in the one corner, as shown. It shows no wear. It has old machine quilting, probably using a treadle machine. I love the way the quilting was done, as the maker machine quilted in the ditch and then again within the pieces, then did diamonds in the border. The binding was turned from the front and machine stitched down. Very possibly made by a young girl. Many of these early small quilts were a childs first start of quilt making. From central Illinois.
