Mo's hearts!


Mo's Heart Pins available!

As many of you know, my niece, Mo, has a serious health issue. Over the years, this bright young lady has made fleece blankets for the "sick" kids when she goes into the hospital for her surgeries. In the past few years, we have branched out a bit into one-of-a-kind fine art jewelry to raise money for the new Loeys-Dietz Syndrome Foundation. Please go to their site to learn more..(see my link).

This past Fall, I met a group selling custom pins to raise awareness for breast cancer and the homeless. I commissioned a new pin to help raise awareness for LDSF. This is a rare but serious syndrome which affects the heart, connective tissues and lives of these beautiful children. Not much is known about the reason for this particular syndrome. We are hoping to sell enough of the pins to help Dr. Dietz at John Hopkins Hospital discover new ways to identify and treat LDS. If you are at the IQA Quilt Show in Chicago this weekend..stop by and purchase a pin..I have a few hundred with me (we also have bales on the back of the pins so you can wear them as necklaces!) They cost $15.00 each and $6.50 of that is a direct donation to LDSF. I have attached a picture of a few of the color choices to wet your appetite!

Off to Chicago

I leave bright and early tomorrow for the Spring International Quilt Festival in Chicago! Very excited to see what will be shown at the Quilt show. BBD Creations will have our new quilt "Dragonfly" and new to the Midwestern market, "Taking Shelter"..or Rabbit as it is fondly called by those in the know.

I packaged special limited edition fabric packs for the Dragonfly, Taking Shelter and Tree of Life quilt patterns. New full size patterns for Scrappy Sunflower are available as well.

My son's quilt: Fallow Fields is featured in a Sprecial Exhibit called Traditional Treasures. Look for the black, red and tan scrappy quilt.

Hope all of you who follow this blog will drop in and say hi to us at the booth this weekend. We are the first booth in on the front row!
