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!
