Hello quilting friends!

I have decided to start a new tradition that I'm calling Free Pattern Friday. Once a month, on a Friday, I will make a pattern available as a free PDF download. The pattern will be available until I post the next one. Then it's gone! So make sure you download your copy today.
 
You may also want to sign up for my mailing list. That way you’ll never miss an update to my blog. I promise never to sell your name to anyone. I will only ever use it to let you know about what’s going on at my website.

The pattern for this month is called Welcome Mat. This design has a funny story and you can read all about it on my blog by clicking here. The working name was doormat but that didn't sound very nice. So I changed it to Welcome Mat.
 
While surfing the net I came across a beautiful version of this design created by Helle Stork. I think that she did a beautiful job of pulling together fabrics to make this design shine. Thank you Helle for letting me share your photo with everyone! You should be very proud.

In the gallery of photos you will also see the back of the quilt. This is a great way to use those large prints in your stash. I also want to introduce you to my new kitty Stella. I had the quilt laying out for all of maybe an hour before Stella decided it looked like a good place for a nap. So she nosed out a little cave for herself and went to sleep.

In April and June of 2016 we had to say goodbye to two of the very best cats that we ever met, first Babygirl and then Mr. Grey. It was heartbreaking for us but they both lived very long and exciting lives. We were very lucky that they picked us to be their humans!

Stella must have heard that we were without a cat and found her way to my friend Rachael’s house up in East Durham New York about a week after Mr. Grey passed away. Since She was a stray who needed a home. Isn’t that an amazing coincidence? Maybe it wasn’t a coincidence……..  

Anyway enough about the cat population at my house. In this gallery below you can see what this design looks like in four other collections from Timeless Treasures. I also have more design information for you to peruse on the original blog for this design.
I can’t wait to see what your version will look like! Please send me a photo of it when you have completed yours. And don’t forget to leave a comment. That way I know I’m not alone here. : ) You can find the link for this pattern below.
 
This pattern is available from download from my ETSY Shop. Click here to purchase this pattern.

I hope you have a happy day full of quilting! Namaste my quilting friend, Janice

Free pattern is what I want to try. Well, our classes have been using the same old patterns all week, and I just want to try something else. I know that there are people who are okay with that, but I am not like those people. I want to harness my skills. I want to try my hardest and be the best at my craft. I will try my best at this free pattern trial, I really want to do great.
