Okay quilter’s….it’s time once again to pull out our pink this month and band together as women for a cause! As we are reminded everywhere we go throughout the month of October, it’s Breast Cancer Awareness month.  I always wondered why in the world they picked October?  Is that when we’re most likely to find [...]
