Pink Ribbon Quilting Tools

EZ's ribbon template measures about 4" x 5" and is a reliable tool to grab when you want to create an applique quilt or other applique project. Templates are made from sturdy acrylic, so they can be used over and over again for many years without worrying about distorting their edges during a series of tracings. Make your ribbons pink for breast cancer awareness, or choose a different awareness ribbon color to show your support for another disease.

This cute little cutter has an alligator clip on its back so that you can easily attach it to your clothing or another secure location. Take the cutter off when you go through a metal detector, but the it will pass airport security. It's sharp enough to cut through tough yarns, so threads should be a breeze to snip. The cutter is available in multiple colors and styles, so pull up the variations if necessary to see the pink ribbon version.

Singer offers this pack of 25 pink safety pins. I'm not sure how they'll work for pin basting a quilt, but we all need to have some extra pins around the house. And they might just work with our Family Craft Guide's Pink Ribbon Beaded Safety Pin project.

Olfa offers this limited edition set of five 45mm replacement blades for your rotary cutter. They're stored in a pink case -- you can keep using the case by (very carefully) transferring new purchases into it after the blades are dull. The blades were 40-percent off the day I looked, and that probably means they're on the way out.

They're not technically a quilting supply, but most of us get little nicks and cuts when we sew. You might be able to find these locally -- I haven't seen them, but my area is notorious for being the last place in the U.S. to acquire products that the rest of the country has had forever. I'm still unhappy that we can't buy pumpkin-spiced Hershey's Kisses.
