This is such a brilliant pattern – I’ve made one for both my boys :) Thanks Abby!!
Hi Abby–
I haven’t been on your blog forever so I checked in and I didn’t even recognize your boys at first–they are so big!! And you have a new little one…congrats! Your blog looks great. I like the new look. I got a new sewing machine for Mother’s Day, so I’m going to check in more often and make some of your cool projects! Cool headboard, too. Hope you are doing well :)
Love,
Errolyn
