I like the bow, and as I like making bags, this can go onto a pocket or the front. Such good instructions, I hope I can manage to get one done this week.
Hello Lorna, thanks for the new pattern this morning :-)
This bow is beautiful.
Kind regards, Katrin
I will be making my bow block later this week. Thanks again for the pattern!
Your patterns are so gorgeous and graphically strong. Your tutorials are excellent. I am a little nervous to try them with my skill level on meeting up edges.
Love this block!! I can see a whole quilt of these lovely bows - to be kept out till Valentines :)!! Thank you, Lorna!
