“Pet Lover” Quilt Block Dash Begins TODAY!

Posted on August 1, 2013 by TK HarrisonJuly 31, 2013

Wow, how time flies when you’re quilting! Today, August 1st, begins a new Quilt Block Dash! This Dash game is super quick and the free pattern that I designed is absolutely adorable! (If you’re a pet lover, as I am, I am betting your pet(s) has/have stolen a quilt or two of yours already.) As always, our free patterns are designed for beginners on up to advanced quilters. It’s fun, you get to shop at some wonderful online quilt shops or quilt pattern designers and you can even Dash in your jammies!

This is an image of the quilt from the free quilt pattern you will receive if you complete the Quilt Block Dash:

I always think of the late, great Mr. Rogers but since I grew up on watching him, you’ll understand it when I say…”Won’t you be a new member”! (And for those of you who loved watching Mr. Rogers, my guess is you’re SINGING that quote!)
