$5 March Pattern + A Quilting Life Notes from the Week


Hello Reader,

Happy March! Now that we are officially in March, I feel like it's safe to say spring is just around the corner! We've definitely had some spring-like weather this week where I live, and I even wore sandals yesterday!

I'm stopping in today with the $5 March pattern, some notes from the week, and a look at what is coming soon!

$5 for March: Happy Spools

The $5 pattern for March is my Happy Spools design which includes instructions for two quilts (one is a mini quilt). I hope you'll enjoy sewing some Happy Spools this month!

Cozy

The Cozy small quilt or wall hanging pattern is also now available in both paper and PDF. I've had a lot of requests for this one. Fabrics are Delightfully Yours, and this one is Layer Cake friendly!
