Would you believe, that in this day and age, some individuals still think that breast cancer is contagious?<BR/><BR/>Conversely, some individuals foolishly believe that breast size determines whether or not one gets cancer.<BR/><BR/>Finally, another myth that is associated with this disease is that it only affects older people. This is not so. Although the chance of getting breast cancer increases with age, women as young as 18 have been diagnosed with the disease.<BR/><BR/>You can find a number of helpful informative articles on <I>Breast Cancer pink quilt</I> at <A HREF="http://breast-cancer1.com/" REL="nofollow">breast-cancer1.com</A><BR/><BR/><B>Breast Cancer quilt</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-46766018651673429842007-03-01T13:20:00.000-08:002007-03-01T13:20:00.000-08:00To Joan ~ Yes, it always feels good to cover up th...To Joan ~ Yes, it always feels good to cover up the stitches and knots on the back of my bead embroidery. But in this case, if you're making a square for the Breast Cancer Quilt, I believe Janette needs the borders to sew the squares together. After the squares are joined, I think she backs the whole quilt to cover all the seams, knots, stitches - making it look neat and professional. If you're making a square as a pin, then folding in the edges and sewing it to a backing is a good idea. (I don't have an email contact for you... hope you see this response...) Thanks for making a square!

I didn't like the look of all my knots on the back, so I folded the edges in and sewed it to another square.

Somehow, my grey cells were working a bit slow when I took the indirect way to find the answer to my question - whereas, of course, I could have asked Jeanette directly.

Here's her reply:<BR/><BR/>"LSS is a tiny bit thicker/stiffer and a whole bunch more expensive, but go ahead and use it if you want to. It won't matter now that I know how I'll be sewing the squares together. I hadn't determined that last May when I announced the project."Jackie (Tillie's Daughter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02023666590463771461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-2707577059383947592007-02-12T11:53:00.000-08:002007-02-12T11:53:00.000-08:00It is great of you to promote this project.

If so I will try to retrieve it from one of my thousand moving boxes in time to create a square.<BR/><BR/>Compliments on your unusual image of a butterfly.

I designed a special pink sock for the occasion (picture will go up on my blog Monday after the kits have been mailed out). I'm not sure why it just struck me to do that this month, but I'm sure we've all had our lives touched by someone who has had breast cancer. I love this bead quilt. I wish I knew more about how to bead. The butterfly is a wonderful symbol and your square is gorgeous.

This disease touches us all in time. I have a dear friend fighting for her life from this right now and can hardly wait to get started on a design. Yours is wonderful, Robin and I'm glad to hear of this. I think the people who do this sort of thing are saints also.
