  1. I Just love this site. The patterns are so easy!!!!!!!!! It is blessing that we have this site! I Thank God every day that I have a wonderful husband and childred. And alot of friends!!!!!! I’m very Bless!!!!!! God Bless Everyone out there!!!!!!!! RUBY

  2. I’m a bit confused about how you attach the stars to the blue field. Do you stitch then all around with that 12″ tail or just stitch the corner of each point?

  3. Where are the three small dots in the right corner top of the page? I lost this pattern and would love to do it again!
