I was really excited when I got an email from Leah at Burgundy Buttons (the other day) asking if I would like to participate in the
Sew Red Blog Hop. I jumped at the chance to help bring awareness to this important cause.
What is the hop about?
Well, it's about hopping! And raising awareness about heart disease!
Each month, Sew Red for Women will feature an original quilt block designed especially for you by some of today's most inspiring designers and bloggers. We will provide a special link to hop on over to the blogger and/or designer's site for details and instructions for completing the featured block. And you just might learn a thing or two about heart disease while you're there!
The hopping begins on February 3rd, which happens to be Wear Red Day!
Who's Participating? And when?
February 3 - Leah of Burgundy Buttons
March 3 - Fat Quarterly's Tacha of Hanies Quilts
April 3 - Katie of Swim, Bike, Quilt
May 3 - Melissa Corry of Happy Quilting
June 3 - Charlie of Qubee Quilts
July 3 - Jessica of Twin Fibers
August 3 - Melissa of The Polkadot Chair
November 3 - Amy of Amy's Creative Side
December 3 - Sherri of A Quilting LifeJanuary 3 - Lynne of Lily's Quilts
What fabric are we using?
While we do not yet have a final fabric supply list as the designer's are still creating their block, we will be using fabrics from Chemistry by Cosmo Cricket and coordinating Bella Solids. Naturally you may use any fabric you like!
As the blocks are released, Burgundy Buttons will offer a block-specific fabric pack for purchase while supplies last.
Will there be a flickr group?
What fun is it if you can't show off? Share pictures of your block and finished projects with the group at http://www.flickr.com/groups/sewredforwomen/
We are so excited to bring you this heart friendly hop and raise awareness about heart disease at the same time! Please help us save lives by sharing information about this event on your blogsite, twitter and facebook! Grab a button over from the right and add it to your side bar!
Together we can make a difference!
Sounds so fun! And love the button!
