I’ve been umming and aaahing over this for a few days. The pattern looks right up my alley so I’m jumping in. I’ll probably spend the weekend rifling through my stash looking for the perfect fabric. I’m sure it’s in there 😉

Ok!! I saw this a few days ago, and thought, hmmmm, maybe…. This morning I was led back to your site through Gypsy Moon. Must mean somethin’! I’m in! First ever quilt along. Very little time, and a t- shirt quilt that needs finished in the same time frame. But I need a little project for ME, too. Can’t wait!
Off to explore your blog a bit more!

OK, I am trying to grab your button, but Blogger won’t nice, I guess. I am adding HTML to my blog as I always have, but it won’t show up as a button. Just a partial code. Any ideas? I am trying to add the 5 Things to Be Happy About button, too, but no go. Is it because you guys are WordPress and I am Blogger? Uuuuugh. Why can’t we all just be friends?? I will be back to give it a try later today. Hopefully there’s a way.

I checked out my HTML code and it appeared to be a broken link. I have fixed it all up and hopefully will do the trick. I also had trouble with the 5 Things to be Happy About button. I suppose I should pass that onto Amanda. I grabbed my own code using this website https://shop.nosegraze.com/button-grab-code-generator/.

Such a lovely design. Whilst I would love to join you in the QAL I just don’t have the time this summer. I have lots of sewing on and am determined to be outside on every nice day! Good luck.
