Pink Tint - Project Quilting challenge 14.2

My step-daughter is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer so this week's Project Quilting challenge theme of "Pink Tint" was quite timely.  Pink for breast cancer awareness is very much at the front of my mind.  I recently made a quilt and tote bag for Shannon to take to her chemo appointments.


I used some of my leftovers from those for my challenge project.

While looking through YouTube for a different tutorial entirely, I came across this one by Minki Kim and Misty Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Company for a simple and cute two tone zipper pouch and decided that would be my project for this challenge.

The First One - Project Quilting challenge 14.1

 For the first challenge of season 14 of Project Quilting, we were asked to be inspired by the number one.  What came to my mind is how I’ve been counting down to the start of this new year.  2022 was a difficult year for my husband and I while we coped with the loss of both our mothers. But through our grief we also recognized this end to our journeys as caregivers would bring new opportunities into our lives.  And so I’ve been anticipating this new year ready to embrace our new freedom.  I want to “hit the ground running.”  


3 - 2 - 1 … GO!
