Patchwork Palooza block 1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Friend Julie is doing much better<\/a> at the Patchwork Palooza<\/a> than I am. However, I am undaunted! After my success with the Patchwork Palooza 8<\/a> Redux, I couldn’t rest on my laurels. I stopped myself from making too many of these blocks all at once. After all, I have other projects on which to work. I did make this block, n.1. I want to catch up and then start making the secondary blocks.<\/p>\n

The dots will be the background and I have added in a new Art Gallery Natural Elements print for the Flying Geese.

I guess you have to draw the line somewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
