What's Your Stitch'n Stuff (the link to their website can be found here: http://www.whatsyourstitchnstuff.com/ ) hosted it's 2nd Annual Quilt Pink weekend! The quilts that are being put together this weekend are phenomenal and I can't wait to see the finished products :o) I just love the fabric and block selections! These quilts, beautifully constructed, will be given to be sold at auction with proceeds going towards breast cancer research. Some of these quilts from the previous year can be found here http://www.ebay.com/quiltpink
I'm including some photographs that I took of the quilting in progress. The block today was a 'Friendship Star' and the colors remind me of cotton candy and candy apples :o) It is such a beautiful quilt top, it's hard to believe that it will be even more beautiful once it is complete with backing and binding!
All throughout Hampton Roads various shops, such as scrapbooking and quilting shops, are hosting similar 'Pink' weekends. Check out Beach Scrapbooks http://www.beachscrapbooks.com/ . Whether you are scrapbooking or quilting or using any other craft medium, you will find yourself in good company! I have always noticed that people that create from the heart naturally give of the heart and I am very thankful for that :o) Over the steady hum of the sewing machine motors, the conversations reflect the genuine thoughtfulness and caring that you would expect of such a wonderful group of people.

(A special visitor is scheduled to stop by! This day is for survivors of breast cancer! Congratulations to you all!)
As you know, with good company inevitably comes good food and these ladies did not disappoint me :o) I took a couple of photographs of some of the dishes on the menu today. Absolutely delicious! Now I just need some of the recipes and my 'Quilt Pink' experience will be complete :o) Everything was so delicious! I wish I could include photos of everything but I would then be here all night and into the next day :o).
What a great cause to support! If you love to quilt or would like to learn, those are two of the very best reasons to visit this store (located in the heart of Kempsville in the Kemps River Crossing shopping center). There are also walks/runs benefitting various worthy causes and my hat's off to you for any and all efforts towards that end.
