Hello again!

It has really been too long since I have posted anything on my blog.  I have been busy, but that really is not a good excuse since I imagine everyone is busy!  So, I will do my best to be more current and since my daughter keeps nagging me about it I hope to make it happen.  A couple of weeks ago was the Renegade Shop Hop of which I was a participant.  I was working on a pattern and I wanted to get it published before the hop, sew… I finished the instructions and illustrations and I had a good friend test it out for me.  Even after making the quilt 4 times I needed someone to make sure that the instructions made sense.  There were a couple of modifications and then it was ready to finalize!  It was the first pattern from Hears 2 Youth Quilts.  A portion of the proceeds from this pattern will go into a fund to help purchase hearing aids for children.  My youngest daughter and I are creating other patterns for Hears 2 Youth Quilts and hope to have those available soon.  The Shop Hop was a great success and I hope everyone that participated had a lot of fun!  I know that I enjoyed the entire weekend and I am looking forward to creating new things for the Shop Hop in November.  Thanks to all of you that stopped in and shopped!
