Autumn Mums was one of my most popular patterns. I thought all the copies were sold, but recently when I was cleaning I came across several of this popular pattern and I have relisted it here on the website. Get your copy before they are all gone!

I received this email from one of my customers. I think it is a wonderful testament to determination, DESIRE and perseverance. I hope you do too. Dear Frieda, I was so overwhelmed at first when I received your package, and I postponed starting the quilt out of fear that I would not be able to do…
