I am very excited to participate in the #SewPINK initiative created by ByAnnie.com. My mother had breast cancer, but because she caught it early she is now thankfully cancer free.
Three activities for my hop day...
- My new pattern, Bear Hugs, launches.
- I am auctioning off the Bear Hugs cover quilt on Instagram and all proceeds will be donated to support breast cancer research.
- I am giving away a $30 gift certificate to byAnnie.com
My newest pattern, Bear Hugs, uses a scrappy Bear Claw quilt block in an interesting design setting. This pattern is prefect for your scraps and you can use it to create your own quilt. I believe that a quilt is a hug made of fabric.
The pattern contains cutting instructions for both scraps and fat eighths, detailed step by step piecing instructions, and a coloring page to test out different color schemes.
You can find the pdf, digital version of Bear Hugs, in my pattern shop.
I had a lot of fun taking pictures of this quilt including in a field behind the hospital by my house.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the pattern, I love it and can't wait to make one!
ReplyDeleteStunning quilt; thank you for the pattern. On my to do list for my scraps!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl. I love your quilts and this one is great for scraps.
ReplyDeleteYour Bear Hugs quilt is sew pretty, Cheryl, and you are a doll to offer the pattern for free during this blog hop! How like you! Stay safe and enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Cheryl! I love this pattern and appreciate more than you know your generosity in providing it free for this Hop. I have come to know your generous spirit over the years. Have a wonderful weekend and stay healthy. Toni Vitrano
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cheryl! I've made chemo quilts for several friends with breast cancer, and yours is perfect for this. Hopefully I get to make it for fun, though! My sweet stepmom had breast cancer too, and she got a Mardi Gras themed chemo quilt. We lost her last year, but not to the cancer. My dad loves her quilt and sleeps with it. All the best to your mom and to you!
ReplyDeleteThInk you for the pattern! I am always looking for patterns that use fat quarters!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't get the pattern. It said the link was "not found". It's a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great pattern.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun pattern! I love your pink version, of course, and want to make a pink and purple version with scraps. Thanks for the pattern and I hope your version raises a lot of money in the auction!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, thank you for the pattern! Can’t wait to make it. Glad to hear your mom is cancer free.
ReplyDeleteI love the new quilt and pattern, Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the pattern, I love the Bear Paw block and pink and scrappy is even better! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and pattern. Certainly a worthy cause. There is too much breast cancer.
ReplyDeleteGreat news about your mother. Love the new pattern (and thanks for giving it away). It might be a way for me to use up my ever-growing pile of scraps. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love your staggered layout with the half-blocks! And your fabrics shine, that binding... I just want to copy the whole quilt. We will see if I give in to the urge. To have the chance, I downloaded the pattern. Thanks for giving it away! xo Melanie
ReplyDeleteThank you for your generosity, Cheryl. I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and I believe a pillow with the Bear Hugs to give comfort during her treatment will be how I use the pattern.
