It’s Day 6 of the 12 Days of Thanksgiving, and today we’re thankful for our service men and women who serve and protect our country.

If you’re just joining the 12 Days of Thanksgiving event, here’s the details.

I’ve teamed up with a few designer friends. Each day I’ll share something we’re grateful for, and then we will each offer a pattern or two, that relates to the day’s theme, for 50% OFF.

Please make sure you visit and support these amazing designers. They are talented, giving, and wonderful people and I’m truly grateful for their friendships.
