I just want to take a couple of lines for something that is really important. This season a lot of communities have been hit by hurricanes... it all started with Harvey and the most recent one Maria. Either you were in the middle of it or you know someone who was.  One of our sponsors, SisBoom, has decided to donate a portion of their profits to victims of Hurricane Maria. More information is available on their facebook page! 

Thanks all our pattern sponsors! They have generously donated several patterns to bloggers on this tour. So super huge thank yous going to Handmaiden's Cottage, GingerCakes Patterns, Jilly Atlanta, Mouse House Creations, Designs by Call Ajaire, Phat Quarters, Sis Boom, Sofilantjes, Gracious Threads, PetitBoo, Jalie and Filles à Maman! Go check out their pattern shops to see what they have to offer, I know you'll be more than pleased with the styles and patterns selection each designer has to offer!

Take a look at the Club Tissus website, its available in both English and French. With all orders of $75.00 get free shipping! Use the code "livraison75" at checkout and make sure you've selected the free shipping method.

Still two more days to go so be sure to come back tomorrow!
