What is your issue?

 I took a deep breath and joined a group of quilters
that will be promoting social awareness for
diseases or issues that are
important and personal to them.
I do hope you will take the
time to read their stories and
support where you can.

The quilter who organized us
She lost her lovely
daughter way too young!!
It is a story familiar
to my family when we
lost my aunt at the
very young age of 35
due to a brain aneurysm.
Carolyn wants to bring
awareness to this silent killer.
Go HERE to read more
about Carolyn's story
and what she is doing
for awareness.

FLOURISH
BLOOM-CHERISH
GROWTH-HOPE

 I am beyond excited to bring my
FLOURISH quilt pattern to you!
Lots of information in this post
so please read to the end. 


As you can see at the time 
of this posting, I am still quilting it:)

Although I rarely use 
blue in my designs, the fabric
and the design itself both
required it for this layout
to be joyful and balanced.

Now to the QAL:
I am so excited you are here.
The FB group has continued
to grow & since this is a 
smaller project, I am looking forward 
to lively participation!

The FULL pattern is available as a 
PDF digital download HERE at an
introductory price of $12 until 
July 8th, 2021
