Awhile back we were contacted by Bev Remillard from Ladylike Designs, the exact title of her email read…“sign me up!”  Isn’t that amazing?  After one quick look at her website, we were so excited to have this renowned instructor and talented designer as part of Team H.O.P.E!  Bev is very, very talented.  She is a designer, lecturer, quilter extraordinaire and on top of that, like all our designers, she’s as good as gold.  At Ladylike Designs you can find information about her BOM, her teaching and lecturing schedule, her patterns and even completed quilts that are for sale in her etsy shop.

Her pattern is called Button Charm Quilt and it’s beautiful!  She recommends using 4 Charm Packs, but you can certainly used yardage or fat quarters to come up with the required 5″ squares.  I love the traditional design and piecing with the extra cuteness of covered buttons.  Do you love to make covered buttons?  Me too!!!
I have the perfect Art Gallery prints that are begging to be done up in this, with white background, it’ll definitely “pop” those Ohio Stars (my most favorite quilt block EVER!). The finished design is 69″x58″, perfect for cuddling  up with a cup of tea and reading a good book.

Look at some of this eye candy I found on her blog…really though, you should visit, she has so much to look at!  Her quilts are romantic with a strong presence of florals and soft colors…this is Tangerine Surprise done with the 9 Patch Fun pattern.  I love the 3D picot border…

This is Charm Basket, a very modern twist on a very traditional concept…love the light blue she used for sashing…

And finally Ribbons & Bows done with the pattern Dancing Hearts…the applique…oh my goodness do I ever love and admire needle-turned applique…

Thank you Bev for linking arms with us, it’s such a great effort to be involved in and such a an easy way to give back and use our talents in a different way.  Visit our shop to get your own copy of Button Charm Quilt.

Look what this little Puddin’ Pop can do!  Baby You can hold her head up and she’s starting to roll over!  This is big deal, because You has Down’s she suffers from poor muscle tone.  She is a testimony of what love, prayers and good medical care can do. Friends, you are part of this, her success is partly because of your shared 5 dollar bills with her.  So, from sweet little Princess You, thank you!

Remember you are everything to someone with nothing!
