April, Come She Will





Yikes!  How can it be April already?!? 

That means it really IS Spring!
And only 17 more days until the end of tax season!

During the month of April, 10% of the sales price of each item sold in my Etsy shop, Pasque Flower Creations, will be donated to Voices of Hope-Lincoln.  My friend, Susan Ugai, is spearheading the fundraising effort, which she calls a Virtual Vendor Showcase. Voices of Hope provides crisis intervention, advocacy and prevention services for domestic violence, sexual assault and incest survivors and their families: http://voicesofhopelincoln.org.

The little April Showers umbrella wallhanging is a 10” x 11” quilt-as-you-go courthouse steps pattern.  A few years ago, I made three little seasonal quilts, including this one, in a Simple Little Quilts class taught by the talented Roxann O’Hare of The Cosmic Cow and The Udder Store.  There’s one for each month. (The other nine were homework.)   A great way to use up scraps!
