Thank Ewe ~ Monday Morning Giveaway

Over the weekend, my girlfriend Michelle called and started raving about a fabulous new designer she just met at a local art show. Rachel designs greeting cards and small gift tags and although I was sure they were adorable, I wasn't sure how they would fit with Loose Thread Stitchers. Obviously I need to learn that Michelle knows of what she speaks. Rachel has a fabulous line of non stitching cards but my favorite series is a fun set about a sheep made of small balls of yarn. I just LOVE the simple design. What a fun way to say thank you to your stitching friends?

Rachel's designs can be purchased at Ewe and I or your local yarn shop. Feel free to e-mail Ewe and I at info(at)EweAndI(dot)com if your local shop does not carry her line. They'd be happy to fill your order.

Seven Words to fight Breast Cancer

We'd like to highlight a non-stitching related cause today. We have worked with Michelle from MKC Photography in the past on an amazing series of sewing images and she recently shared with us her newest work to help raise money for Breast Cancer. We just had to share it with our members....

I took a poll. I asked women what words they would want to hear when facing a battle, what words they would say to their mother, their sister, their friend. I arranged them in order, from the first day, moving on and upward, through the journey. These seven words are for my aunts. They are for my cousin. They are for my college professor. They are for my childhood friend. They are for each one of us, because cancer touches us all.

In honor of May and Mother's Day, 25% of all proceeds from this print will go directly to my dear friend's organization, Phi Mammo Gramma, as they raise funds for the Avon Three Day Walk in the hope that, one day, the eighth word will be "cure."
