#sewpink Blog Hop ++ Bear Hugs Quilt Pattern

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...

1. My new pattern, Bear Hugs, launches. 
2. I am auctioning off the Bear Hugs cover quilt on Instagram and all proceeds will be donated to support breast cancer research.
3. I am giving away a $30 gift certificate to byAnnie.com

BEAR HUGS QUILT PATTERN

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.

BEAR HUGS AUCTION

The Bear Hugs quilt will be auctioned off on Instagram today, being posted around 8 am EST this morning.  The auction will last for 3 days through midnight EST Sunday night.  I will pay shipping costs within the US and the winner will donate the winning amount directly to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
