LIVE WITH ANNIE
We were joined by guests Jennifer and Carolyn Gibbons who were the inspiration behind our popular Bosom Buddy pattern.
We talked about their journey, breast cancer and other hereditary cancers, and ways that we, as quilters and sewists, can help those who are dealing with those diseases.

BOSOM BUDDY
If you, or someone you love, have had surgery for breast cancer — or other treatments that affect the chest or stomach area -- this soft, comfortable cushion will be so appreciated.
This simple project makes wearing a seat belt more comfortable.

The #SewPink Initiative was created by ByAnnie.com LLC to raise awareness for breast cancer throughout the year. Our efforts culminate in an annual blog hop during October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month to promote self-care, awareness, early detection and support for those affected by breast cancer.
