It’s a Garden Party! 15 Sewing Patterns for Spring

Welcome to our Garden Party! Sweet, sweet Spring has arrived and we couldn’t be more thankful after the wild winter that we had this year! To celebrate warmer weather and a return to the great outdoors, we’ve gathered 15 quilt and cross stitch patterns that bloom bright.

We hope you’ll join us in the garden for a gathering among the flowers and butterflies. Read on for details on all the patterns and our Garden Party contest!
