Breast Cancer Research Sampler

When I lost my best friend to breast cancer I was devastated. Although she is always in my heart I wanted something as a daily reminder of our friendship. Since she was an avid stitcher the most logical idea was to stitch something. This simple little sampler is the result.
The M at the top of the sampler is to remind all of us to get those annual mammogram!

The heart at the center of the M is for love.

The pink roses are for hope. The blue forget-me-nots mean that we will not forget the people on our sampler as long as this disease still exists.

And of course the pink ribbon around the single forget-me-not is the symbol for breast cancer.

Although an alphabet has been included I have used a different one for each person on my sampler. Each person stitched on my embroidery is a unique individual. Some are stitched in blue for remembrance. Some are stitched in pink to denote survivors.

A pink heart separates the names listed here. How many more will be added before a cure is found?

No profit will be taken from the sale of this Breast Cancer Research Sampler. When you send your check I will subtract only what is needed to reproduce the embroidery in pattern form and send it to you. The rest will be set aside and once a month a check will be sent to the American Cancer Society with the funds gathered during that month and earmarked for Breast Cancer Research.
Thank you for contributing to the cure.
