This is it my friends! Here it is! From my heart we would really appreciate a repost or share in your stories. Be A Superhero! . #Repost @canadianmqc Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation... This pattern was inspired by Caleb MacArther’s story, the endowment in his name at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation goes to provide support to little , fighting really & their families. The Caleb’s Courage suite at our local hospital was carefully and lovingly designed by Nicole and a team of talented individuals, to provide comfort for patients and their families. We believe this quilt pattern would be Caleb approved! Isn’t this ! So !! So ! Our vision for this quilt was that once under the quilt, the child becomes the , they recharge to fight another day. Whether their fight is against childhood cancer, bullying, mental health issues, discrimination no matter the issue, it is meant to be empowering for the recipient. These quilts can be playful too. Children can use the quilt back as a cape for some added fun. It’s really for anyone with an imagination. There are 3 versions designed by Jennifer of @beesewinspired, , , . What I truly love about this pattern is that there are endless ways to customize it to represent the you have in mind. Swipe to see the Caleb’s Courage version, truly representative of the little boy who wore his cape to treatment to fight cancer. I bet your minds are racing right now. Who do you know that would a quilt like this? How would you customize it? Is anyone else thinking Sparkly boots, or is that just me??? Comment and let me know who you will be making this quilt for? #superhero #superheroquilt #oneofakindquilt #empowermentquilt #beasuperhero #calebscourage #personalizedquilt #quiltpattern #quilts #studio39fabrics #whitneyoaksdesigns #beesewinspired #quiltpatternrelease #traditionalquilt #sewkindofwonderful
