Welcome to September! Wow the summer sure seemed to fly by! I hope it was a good one for you and your family - it was here in Indiana!
September is National Sewing Month and what better way to celebrate than with a new pattern?
Diane Bohn who blogs over at
from blank pages has written and published her first quilt pattern titled Grandma's Lawn Chair. I was lucky enough to be one of her pattern testers! And so glad that I was- this is a great pattern! It is easy, fun and fast! I am so happy with the results - although I must say - I don't think my Grandma ever had a lawn chair like this! Just sayin'......
To celebrate and introduce her new pattern, she is having a blog hop! There are some amazing people on this blog hop and I'm so excited to be included and see all the wonderful quilts made from this great pattern! It begins on Monday September 9th.
