A FREE Patchwork & Poodles pattern! Yes! Fun fact: When I was a kid I loved to collect fossils. It might have something to do with the fact that I was there when the Field Museum in Chicago unveiled SUE the T. Rex in 2000. So when I saw this adorable dinosaur-filled collection from Paintbrush Studio Fabrics, I just knew some dinosaur paws were in order. Did you know The Field Museum paid $8.4 MContinue reading
Pattern number 5 is here! Harvest Star is a big block quilt with a big impact! (Buy it here) It is also my first single-block based design.
