Well, October is here, and in the middle of planning my holiday crafting, I though I’d share a Breast Cancer Awareness craft. Since you have the whole month of October to craft pink, here’s a cute one to get you going!
Our friends over at CrossStitch.com have supplied FOUR different versions of the pink ribbon to print out for FREE- two “easy” versions, and two (like the one shown at left) more advanced. Surf on over to get your free pattern.
What a nice, small, do-able project! How about making small bookmarks to give to a survivor? Or a check-book cover for a special woman in your life? Or maybe just make one for yourself, and put it somewhere to remind yourself that early dectection is the best cancer treatment- so do your monthly self-checks. (Okay, public service announcement over!) Even if you aren’t a big breast-cancer-awareness advocate, download or bookmark the page anyway, and change the color of the ribbon for your cause of choice.
Have fun, and think PINK!

Hi Everyone,
I am an Australian cross stitch designer and I have designed a Breast Cancer Ribbon cross stitch pattern which I am releasing to the public domain for anyone to pass and share this pattern around for free and people can also stitch this design on products to sell for donations for Breast Cancer Research.
You can find it on my free patterns page here http://www.artecy.com/free.html
Best Wishes
