Love and Prayers, by Maxine Moore

Pink is everywhere  these days because October is breast cancer awareness month. I dare say quilters were probably leaders in the breast cancer awareness movement, so the Start Your Week With a Quilt newsletter could not let the month go by without showcasing a breast cancer quilt.
 
The October 18, 2009 featured quilt was made for Gail with the help of her brother Kenny. It was made by Maxine Moore.
 
The quilt prominently features the pink ribbon that has come to symbolize breast cancer awareness. Pictures of family members are also incorporated into the quilt.
 
Maxine reports that the recipient of this quilt was in the middle of her treatment when she received this quilt. She is now in remission — a testimony to the power of love.
