Is it too late to finally put decorations out around the house? Our house is decoration-less at the moment and it feels more like January…cold and not very festive!

I am so excited to share my newest pattern with you today! Introducing Frame It Up! Frame It Up is a beginner quilt pattern that is fat eighth friendly.
