ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF THIS PATTERN UNTIL MAY 6 2020 will go to The Mustard Seed, a homeless shelter and community support organization.

Home should be our safe place, where we can take refuge from the world. During this strange time we are in, it has laid heavy on my heart that some don’t have a safe place to call home. I’m hoping to use my small skill set to help out in a small way, by designing this pattern and sending all the proceeds to The Mustard Seed. Please stay safe at home and thank you so much for participating in this fundraiser!
