I have started my first quilt with some Prints Charming fabrics I bought from Hot Possum. I have designed a simple brick quilt, and I plan to machine quilt it using a diamond pattern. I am going to call my quilt “Think Pink”!!
We recently celebrated our one year blogversary and made a donation to the Red Cross Bush Fire Appeal to mark the occasion. We have now decided to have a Think Pink giveaway as well. To enter leave a comment saying your favourite thing about the colour pink. You will win some pink goodies including my favourite Prints Charming fabric, a Matryoska magnet, pink moleskine notebook, plus some other goodies. We will do the draw on Saturday Feb 28.
Mum and I have been putting some finishing touches to our “Time for Tea” Swap this week. We will be able to reveal all in a couple more weeks!!

Sweet fabrics that you’re using in your quilt. I adore pink, I just think it’s such a soft and femimine colour.
I love it when I can see pink in the sunset, pink flowers, pink gems and crystals. It’s such a soothing color, don’t you think? And I love your Think Pink colors!
Great Choices for your first Quilt! It’s going to look tremendous. PINK! I have always loved Pink. My first love affair came from Cotton Candy and grew include Roses, Tulips, Peonies, and fabrics colored Pink. I made little Pink dresses for my Tessa when she was a baby and I love pink most of all because it makes me remember being such a Tomboy and wearing Pink dresses to school
and actually feeling like a girl. I still love it now because it is so Fresh, Vibrant, Sweet and still makes be feel like a girlie girl!
Pink is my favourite colour! I love the colour pink because it is reminds me of spring and Easter – new beginnings and nicer weather. Everyone seems happier with winter passing so it holds good feelings for me.
My favorite thing about the color pink is how little girls are just drawn to it. It doesn’t matter if you dress them in purple and green, when they see pink, they go for it.
Red = Passion and White = A new beginning. That’s why I love pink!
fairy floss!
Oh my goodness, pink is my absolute favourite colour in the whole wide world!
My favourite thing about it is that it makes me happy. It reminds me of lollies and cupcakes and all things girlie and sweet!
Pink makes me think of flowers, springtime and beginnings. Fresh and sweet. I love pink!
I hadn’t liked pink since I was a little girl until my daughter (5.5months) was born and we were given lots of pink things to dress her in. Now I love pink because it makes me think of her and all her sweetness and smiles.
Pretty fabrics!//Eva
I just love pink girly goodness.
In recent years,I have found it hard to make quilts with other colours (although red is a bit of a favourite too).
Do you know the movie “Funny Face”? There’s a great scene with a song called “Think Pink”.
Check it out.
Andi 🙂
Ohhh what I love about pink is it is SO GIRL. As a mum of two boys and a third coming along soon pink makes me feel like I am nourishing the woman in me (which is so hrd to do in a house of boys – including he pets!)
I love pink because it makes me crave sugar (i.e. cake)!It is the softest, sweetest colour there is.
I have 2 boys so there isn’t a lot of pink around here but I love it.
It reminds me of pink, chubby cheeks!
My favorite thing about the color pink is how it has come to represent breast cancer. As a breast cancer survivor it helped me get through the rough times, seeing other people wearing pink ribbons or hats/shirts with pink ribbons made me feel supported and not alone in my journey. Pink has come to represent survival to me. Judi
With so much horrible stuff going on in our world, pink is a color to bring, softness, warmth and love. xxx
Pink gives me a warm and soft feeling. There’s too little of it around here with 2 boys but I try to indulge myself when I can! Those fabrics are divine!
I’d never been a big pink fan- refused to wear it, felt frustrated by the gender-branding aspects of it, until I lived in the Sonora Desert near the U.S./Mexican border. I’d never seen sunsets like that before, nor that many different hues of pink – it was amazing!
My fav thing about the colour pink is marshmallow, all soft sweet and squishy
Pink reminds me of cotton candy, pale washed cotton dresses hung in the sun to dry, ballerina slippers, and my baby girls toe nails.
Pink means roses, musk lollies, beautiful material and strawberry milkshakes. Happy days.
What is their not to love about the color pink. It is simply the best color in the whole white world and oh yeah pelicans are pink too!
Nice giveaway, hope I win.
My little daughter loves pink so much, and she’s the very best thing in my life, so can’t help loving it too!
Fran
I love pink too – it’s pretty, and of course has the whole not-quite-subliminal-message-about-breast-cancer too.
What’s not to like about pink! Even I might look pretty in pink !

Pink is my daugther Georgia’s favourite colour…it is a great girlie colour…very pretty!! CAthyx
Pink is a little girl’s sweet dreams! I like what I once read in “Hailstones and Halibut Bones”:
“Pink is the beautiful
little sister of red”
and I think that is true!
Pink to me, means sweet and sticky and yummy! Happy Blogiversary!
Think Pink = My lovely princess.
Anything and everything Pink will makes my girl jumping in the air !!
Pink is dreaminess at the pale end of the scale and vibrant gloriousness at the bright end of the scale. Pink is one of the yummy colours!
I love pink because there are so many different shades of pink – my favourite shade is fuchia (not sure if that’s the right spelling – have seen so many different versions!!)
I love pink because I live in an all male household – there’s not much around my house!
by the way I love you colour and fabrics for your new quilt.
I LOVE PINK…. PINK PINK PINK.
I had 4 girls and I dresses them in pink when they were little. My eldest now likes purple my second eldest likes pink especially playboy bunny pink, my third oldest likes blue and my baby loves green…Yuk.
I nearly bought the pink snowflake the other day, I love it.
What a generous giveaway! Well, I love pink because it’s such a happy colour, and it reminds me of springtime flowers, sweet fizzy drinks, musk sticks! It can be soft and feminine or bright and girly, what a perfect colour 🙂
I absolutely love the colors and fabric designs of your first quilt, Sarah!! I can’t wait to see it finished! Hot Possum here I come!!
When I think of pink, I think of the freshness, the sweetness, the carefreeness that comes when you’re holding a precious little girl in your arms.
Happy Sunday, oops, Monday to you!
Pink thats easy, my wedding. It was my bridesmaids dresses colours because it was a favourite and still is. I am glad I have 2 girls so I can use pink often.
Thank you for the chance of a giveaway.
I love Pink because it reminds me of the Dolly Vardin cake my Mum made me for my 6th Birthday. It’s such a lovely girly colour 🙂
I am drooling over your quilt fabrics – yummy!
I like it just because it’s girlie!
I love how when my girls where pink, their skin looks creamy and white and their cheeks look like a nice light pink! It just brings out beautiful qualities in skin.
Shawna
I love the color pink, it is softer than red but still makes me feel warm. When I wear pink it brings out the blush in my cheeks and makes me feel feminine.
Pink quilts are like a hug from grandma, they are extra comfy.

Happy Blogaversary!
Pink is my daughters favorite color and I would love to incorparate some pink into her summer wardrobe! I will be making some dresses and skirts soon.
Happy Blogaversary. I don’t think that is spelled right. LOL.
I love pink. I love to wear it. It always helps me feel cheerful. Who could be sad wearing pink?
It is feminine, and cheery, and makes mundane objects seem fun (i.e. toaster=boring, pink toaster=awesome!)
I love pink because it’s the only girly girl part of my life. I grew up with 3 brothers, had 3 sons, have one teen age grandson and another grandson on the way. If it wasn’t for girly pink items, there would be no girly things in my life.
What a lovely giveaway. Pink is all about sweet girlie things; ric rac, polka dots, ruffles.
I love your choices, for you first quilt. IT is going to be so colorful and fun. I bet it will be your first, but many will follow. I love that pink has made a comeback and it is not only a little girl’s favorite color, but can be found in many hip designs now. It is fresh, bold, and yet very feminine. Have fun sewing…
My favorite color is red. I think of pink as red’s little baby. LOL And when I see pink I think of growing up and pink and white gingham. I love pink and white gingham. It’s cheery, light and bright. It always makes me smile! What a fantastic give away. Thanks girls!
My favorite thing about pink is that it’s my daughter’s favorite color! I’ve been collecting pink/orange/red fabrics for the last year or so, with plans to make a quilt for her “big girl” bed. She’s not quite 3, so I think I have another year or two to finish it. 🙂
Pink is always a cheery color — that’s why I like it. It makes me smile. Thanks for the chance for the pretty giveaway!
My favorite thing about pink is that it is such a girlie, sweet color. And it is my daughter’s favorite color.
Pink is a happy color! It reminds me of the sixth grade and a dress my mom made for me. It was white with giant pink polka dots. But I told mom “No lace!” because I wasn’t a girly girl 🙂
Sarah, I love the fabrics you’ve chosen for your first quilt. They look fantastic!
I love pink and one of my favourite memories is while on vacation in Australia seeing a flock of rosy pink-breasted galahs rising up from a field. Unforgettable!
Karen
Cheerful! Delicate baby cheeks, sunsets, valentines, roses…
…woww…pretty colors… just I´buy some yarn in orange and fucsia (hot pink)…;)
Pink reminds me of my mom. It was her favorite color and now it makes me smile when I see it.
Pink is just sweet! Right now I’m thinking pink a lot because I have a new little granddaughter on the way and I’m very busy sewing in pink.
Pink stink LOL 😉
Pink is the very epitomy of femininity.It is so delicate and soft and yet can be the main attraction with loud and bubbly fuschia tones. My husband loves my daughter in pink and when I dress her in it his eyes light up. I guess that’s why I love it! She’s a daddy’s girl and I love that!
Thanks for the chance to win!

Pink makes me feel happy and girly! There’s nothing like a cute pink blouse or pretty pink flowers to brighten my day!
Pretty in Pink – you always look good and feel pretty when you wear pink.

I think I love pink because as a little girl I always wanted to be a girly frilly girl, but that didn’t work into the hand me downs from my older sisters. Now I get to be as girly as I want (and my girls are too!! LOL)
What a lovely giveaway and I love the fabrics you are going to use in your Think Pink quilt.
Pink reminds me of my bedroom when I was a little girl. Not a baby pink but a bright pink. I loved that room. It also reminds me of my first pair of Dr Marten boots which I painted one boot shocking pink and the other multi-coloured. It is feminine but can pack a punch!
Hia thanks for visiting my blog. I must buy wrapping paper for the Time for Tea Swap- we’re nearing posting time.
Ooo a giveaway too! Well I like pink old fashioned scented roses best. Pink is a useful colours with so many others. I’ve just made a little hot pink and turquoise bag which is one of my fav colour combinations.
pale pink roses growning in my gran’s garden. xx
Ummm….Pink doesn’t Stink! 😉
Pink reminds me of my blog – some of the background is pink. And I really enjoy my blog! 🙂
What fun giveaway goodies you put together! I love pink because it says girly girly girly.
Perhaps I should explain my previous comment LOL. Pink always reminds me of being at school and how you made everything rhyme. My name was always difficult to make rhyme. The best the boys could come up with was “frying-pan!” 🙂
Good luck with that first quilt, I’m sure you’ll do a super job and I look forward to seeing the result!
How nice of you to do a giveaway. I don’t know how it got started, pink for girl and blue for boys but I have always loved pink. It can be so delicate and so bold. Pink is everywhere, flowers, sunsets, bunnies noses, ribbons, and pink frilly dresses. Sweet!that’s what pink is.
It goes so nice with light green.
Love your choce of fabric for the THINK PINK quilt !!
I adore pink…it is my favourite colour…even more so with the arrival of our daughter 8 years after our son…what a thrill I got to walk with a purpose into the girly pink toy and clothing aisles at the shops !!!
Thank goodness my daughter loves pink too…( not much choice with a pinkaholic mother LOL 🙂
Heavenly and to die for!
Those colours are beautiful and I started working with that orange on the weekend! The best thing about pink .. that was secretly buying tiny pink things when I was pregnant with Maya. For a mum with 3 boys that was a wonderful secret to have.
Pink reminds me of my children – and always will – sugar and spice and all things nice – its also the colour of LOVE so my hubby gets a look in as well!
The color pink makes me think of my daughters cute little pink cheeks. She loves to wear pink and most of her things are pink. So, it always gives me happy thoughts of her.
I never liked pink, until I had my daughter. In fact, while I was pregnant with her I got teased A LOT. Told people, only green and purple for this little girl. But then, she was born and everything was pink and it made me think of her and all those feelings that rush in during/after her birth. In fact, just today she asked her dad to paint her green room pink.
Blog on sister…..
Hi Sarah,
My Mom loved pink and since she has passed it is a color I can’t get enough of. Thanks for having this giveaway.
Keep Stitchen’
Bonnie
Hi girls – well done on the blogaversary – it was such a great gesture to donate.
I LOVE pink (as you would have probably guessed) because I live with 3 “boys” and it makes me feel feminine and girly! It has always been a favourite but probably more so now that I have boys in my life! – They actually like pink too!
Wow, what can I say I adore pink. It just makes me happy, anywhere I go I look for pink, pink anything! As I look around my office I see pink everwhere. I had a pink room growing up, and still love it. Thank you for this chance.
Can’t wait to see the ‘Thinkpink’ quilt finished! I just love the color pink because it makes me smile, something about it means it’s always a happy color.
I join with the other commenters in saying I LOVE PINK! Always have, always will! I was lucky to have 3 girls so I got to dress them up in pink quite often.
well, what can one say about pink?
It is my 8 year old’s most favourite colour in the world, and she can’t leave the house without a little of it on! 🙂
Im very much a girly girl and thats why pink is such a favourite around my place,
its very girly and perks me up…pink is such a feminine colour and its great to be a girl!
good luck to all who enter!
I have always loved pink. It’s just a happy color. It says — girlfriends!
Pink is a girlie, feminine fancy free color. Pink makes me think of wonderful things. Spring just around the corner,flowers and frilly dresses. Childrens cheeks after a good giggle. I just love pink.
k of my daughters. Growing up they both hated pink and now it’s one of their favorite colors. :)Lisa
Okay, my favourite think about pink……
Pink is a colour that reminds me of little girls. I am a big time lover of girls therefore I love pink.
Love Renee
Pink is a great girly colour, that no matter how old you are, you can still wear it. I love that it reminds me of so many things, like dolls, and lollies and pretty flowers.
I think its a colour that always makes you happy, like yellow. 🙂
I love pink and wear it all the time. Even most of my jewellery is pink!
Goodluck with the quilt your so crafty I’m sure it will be lovely.

When I was growing up I had bright red hair and desperately wanted to wear pink, but my mum wouldn’t let me (but you should have seen me in my maroon school uniform – and you could have too, from about a mile away!) I now have grey hair and my favourite thing about the colour pink is that I can now wear it without fear of clashing!
Its the only colour special enough to have its own name. Its just red and white mixed but mix blue with white and you just get light blue.
All that pink has me tickled pink–LOL! Pink has been my favorite color since I was a very young girl. It is a hopeful, cheerful color. So many pretties here…And I love the fabrics you’re using for your new quilt–very fresh & fun! Happy Days to you all :o) ((HUGS))
I love pink as it reminds me of my only daughter – she is a pink fanatic – even the lining in her purses are pink!
Because when you tame down a “red” you’ll get “pink”. I think of pink as a soft and thoughtful girl, while her sister red is a daring and spontaneous girl. And orange is the cheeriest of the three. They are all sisters, I guess..
my favorite thing about pink is when boys and men are brave enough to wear it. my son has a bright pink tshirt with the saying “pink is the new black”…i love that he wears that! can’t wait to see your tea swap items!
What’s not t love about pink. It’s girly and all the really good foods are pink like cotton candy and pink bunny peeps all soft and sweet. Pink represents the soft and sweet in girls. I thin we may go to other colors for awhile but we always come back to pink. It’s just fabulous!
Pink just makes me happy 🙂
Pink reminds me of my mother’s powder puff and how she would take it and put powder on my nose. I like pink because I see my mom in that color.
My favorite Barbie doll was dressed in a pink evening gown with a white fur stole. Pink reminds me of happy times spent with my sister playing Barbies–many, many years ago.
My favorite colour is red but with a 5 jear old girl around, pink is the runner-up!
I love your blog , thank you to share all your inspiering work.
I agree with one entry, pink fairy floss and then, of course, baby girls! But pink always makes me think of the breast cancer ribbons and products we see everywhere.
Happy Blogaversary!
Pink reminds me fondly of my little sister who lives very very far from me. =)
Her room is pink, her clothes are predominantly pink…
=) Thanks
Pink reminds me of sugar and spice and everything that is nice! Cute Giveaway!!
Pink just make me feel happy. It is the color I chose for my bridesmaids for our wedding 42 1/2 yrs. ago!!!
Hi! Just popped in to say that the color pink is my best friend’s favorite color, and seeing it makes me feel like she is still here with me in California, instead of on her way to North Korea.
give me pink any day! I just love the makes a little girl look like a princess. Oh and most things pink taste pretty good as well, musk sticks, marshmallows, fairy floss and turkish delight.
The color pink reminds me of my two little cherubs. Whats not to love about that!
It’s sweet and cheerful and full of happiness and energy! Oh, and it’s the colour of strawberry icecream. Pink food rarely disappoints.
PS- I’ve tagged you girls on my blog!
Pink makes me think of my best friend who is pink obsessed! We had bright pink bridesmaid dresses at her wedding 😉
In swedish you say that a person who is in love sees the world in pink!

I love pink for all the obvious girlish reasons written before 🙂 I’ll just add two other reasons:
The first is that I love the Aaerosmith song “Pink” (great, now I’ll be humming it to myself all day), and second: my boyfriend is somewhat obsessed with pigs. Not the actual animal in real size but the cute piggy cartoons. So obviously cute pinkish little “oink”s remind me of him 🙂
Great giveaway!
Thanks,
Maya
Well, you know me and PINK! That will be SO darling!
My favourite thing about pink is that it’s the colour of my little girl’s cheeks after she’s been on the slide. Fab.
Lovely fabrics you have there – can’t wait to see what you do with them.

Oooh, that’s so hard! I’m just drawn to it and it makes me smile. My art tutor commented that mine was a “very pink” portfolio – I took it as a compliment! 🙂
My favorite thing about Pink is that it will never be borrowed, taken, misplaced, used because I live in a house full of boys. I even painted my shovels pink…..they kept disappearing.
Hi Sarah! Hmmm, pink. I don’t think I can explain my attraction to pink. Pink is very special and has a life and definition all of it’s own. Example: The new flavoured pump drink (berry blast, I think?) the only way I could describe the taste was “pink”. When everyone else tasted it they agreed. It tastes “pink”. Pink, a colour that not only “looks” and affects our feelings, but it tastes too!!! You can’t get much better than that!
For me, pink is girly, fun, carefree, and somewhat organized!
I think of pink frosted cupcakes, which are just as yummy as fabric.
I love that pink goes with so many other colors with different results. Right now I am enjoying how pink goes with brown.
Pink reminds me of sringtime, flowers and little girls 🙂
and thanks for this giveaway!
I love PINK. I sleep in pink, decorate in pink, wear pink, feel calm by pink – it’s such a lovely colour

What a difficult ask. There are so many things I LOVE pink but I think the best thing I can think of is/was the colour of our lips. Mine are fading as the years go on so I love that I can add my own colour. That would mean Lipstick then wouldn’t it.
My favorite thing about pink is all the shades of it in roses and other flowers…….just brightens my day
Lovely, like to give it a go!! I love Pink!
I love pink because it is reminscent of childhood. It reminds me of my pink bedroom walls, attending ballet lessons in my pink leotard and jiffies, my pink tongue after sucking on a ‘Freeza’ icypole and thinking that anything ‘pink’ signified how much difference there was between the boys and the girls.
To me, pink is a very flattering colour. Its fresh and just goes with everything.
Congrats on starting your quilt! It’s addictive – you have been warned 🙂
Like others have said, pink goes with everything – even orange!
I love the colour Pink because it reminds me of marshmallows and my daughter 🙂
Traceylea
I think pink it’s the best colour, no matter what all the boring abstract art painters say. I’ve opened my msn id with te name of thinkpink for another good reason, but it still being my favourite one. When you think about pink, you think about girls. Girls think pink, as well.
