Tuesday HEART Tale


If I asked you mom's favorite color, I would hear you all shout loud and proud 
R E D!!!  
That would be correct!!
If I had 87 prizes I'd give you all one!!
Red makes mom happy.
February is Heart month in honor of Women's Heart Health


On Saturday February 4th it was 
GO RED FOR WOMEN WEAR RED DAY
This day promotes heart health for women.
 Red is also one of the colors for mom's favorite University
N. C. State!! Each year there is a competition held at the NC State 
Design School.  The students design a dress for the Heart Health Event.
After the dresses are designed each student makes the dress out of
some type of paper.  The completed dresses are on display at Crabtree Valley Mall.
The pictures below are a good example of how very pretty they are but
in person it is amazing.  Some of the dresses have folded paper similar to Origami 
Almost all of the pieces of paper start out in the shape of 
HEARTS






Mom used to make most of my human sis's clothes when sis was a wee girl...BUT mom did not design them she had to use patterns.  Needless to say Mom was amazed at each and every design and hope each young lady will one day be creating beautiful clothes OUT OF FABRIC.
We hope you enjoyed these photos and as always

HUGS and.................

  2. My grandmother sewed most of my clothes for me in elementary school ... she used patterns too. We'd get one pattern and 4 different fabrics ... and VOILA! Those dresses are AMAZING. I just realized I read your post about the Coffee Morning and didn't comment ... RATS! We enjoyed learning more about you and your Mom, Madi. I had no idea you're almost 15! For some reason, I thought you were much younger. I'm like your Mom in that I like to put myself into Bear's head ... as you can probably tell by the conversations we have on our blog :)

  3. Red is a brilliant colour. When you paint they tell you if you want your painting to pop to just put a touch of red in it.
    Love all the dress designs!

  4. They are pretty! I like the second one especially and wouldn't mind wearing the fabric version of that!
    I like red myself or pink. Probably because I have to wear a dark blue uniform to work every day.

  7. Those were amazing dresses. Our mom can't sew at all, but she dreams that in another life, she could have been a costume designer and maker. Like for Ren Faires, that sort of thing.

  8. Madi, I am all about being for Go Red for Women! I have a little red dress enamel pin from Go Red for Women that is on my bag/purse. I also have a cardiac stent which is why I support Go Red for Women. A HUGE thank you to your Mom for giving some blog time to heart health! Love the pictures of the dresses! I think you would look very elegant in the last dress, Madi!

  14. Such a cool contest! My mother and older sister used to sew our clothes, and I learned to use patterns too, but haven't done any of that in a long, long while. Our sewing machine gets used to make cat pads from old towels or sheets, for the bottom of beddys, napping spots, and cat tents. I know how to knit too, but only flat, square things...hehehe!

  18. An impawtent message! Mom says too many women do not realize heart disease is the #1 killer! Dad's brother's wife (just turned 76 the week prior) died yesterday afternoon. She layed down on the bed to read and died. She must have had some sign something wasn't right and wasn't alert to it.

    Your Pals,
