Bit late posting this but: MY FIRST PATTERN IS OU Bit late posting this but: 
MY FIRST PATTERN IS OUT IN @lovequiltingmag 🥳🥳🥳

Thank you so much for all the kind words already! I actually only started paper piecing and quilt making last year so to make a pattern and have it in a magazine in such a short time is amazing! 

Obviously, there's a bit that went a bit iffy but I'm not an expert quilter so it's fine 😂

Swipe to see some behind the scenes, my practice run and some up close snaps!

My pattern is in Issue 109 and it is OUT NOW!
