I have decided to make another round of the

Nesting Baskets

Because, well, we all need an easy gift to make, 

and they are one of my favorite patterns featured at byAnnie.com,

Know someone starting treatment?

Put a few necessities in a Nesting Basket, and gift it as your way

of saying, "I'm here for you!  I got you!  I support you!!!"

For my version of these Nesting Baskets,

I decided to use my upcoming line of fabrics by Windham Fabrics,

Makers Collage

shipping to shops at the end of this year.

So, grab some thread, some chalk and graphite pencils, some clips

and some GREAT

Soft and Stable from byAnnie.com

As a matter of fact, order two or three of the bags of this product

because, well, it's a staple that should be in

EVERYONE'S

Studio!

My tip of the day is,

prep, prep, prep

Once you sit down at your sewing machine,

you'll be ready to follow Annie's detailed instructions

and these baskets will come together in no time!

Thank you for letting me be a part of this great event, Annie!

And thanks to all of you out there, for inviting me into your Studio.

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. 

To learn more and see the calendar of events, visit: https://www.ByAnnie.com/SewPINK

Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women, and unfortunately, many of us know someone or have ourselves been affected by this disease. The good news is we can do something about it because breast cancer is detectable with monthly breast self-exams and mammograms. 

To find screenings available near you: 

• Breast Screen (Australia)
• CDC.gov (US)
• WebMD (free screenings)

In addition to participating in #SewPINK, Fat Quarter Shop invites you to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation with the goal of raising $20,000. To find the Fat Quarter Shop fundraiser, visit: https://fundraise.nbcf.org/team/fqs

ByAnnie.com will match every dollar raised on the #SewPINK fundraising page.
