Think Pink

Calling all quilters, seamstresses,
embroidery owners & crafters! 
We need your help!
ThinkPink Workshop Unveiled

Knecht's is going national with our new program, Embroidered ARt from the HeARt and we are introducing THINK PINK as our kick-off project & event! But, as every successful undertaking would have it, we can't do it without a large group of you by our side!

What is it? We are making MiniWhimsey ARtAngels who's surfaces are filled with words of inspiration and hope. These small creations will then be stuffed, assembled, pin backs attached and placed on pretty tags ...and their mission: they will be passed on to breast cancer treatment centers and women's oncology offices. These small collaged works of stitched art are meant to be a reminder to all women to never give up, fill their day with hope and share a few words of encouragement. Time doesnt alway permit us to make a quilt for every woman we know who could use a lift in this challenging time of her life...so we created ARtAngels. And we think these mini whimseys will be the perfect little blessing!
It's a day of learning, sharing, and creating. . .

Who & How you can help...
Everyone!!!! We are looking for anyone to donate PINK scraps or a fat quarter of PINK cotton fabric...any print , any shade, any size! ...Even tiny scraps will work for our KreativeKollage technique!
