Guest Designer- Jo of the Crafty Nomad from Patchwork Posse

Jo’s patterns have been featured in magazines and workshops. She is one that loves to look beyond the quilt sometimes and designs patterns for sewing machine pin cushions, pillows and bags. (my kind of designer!)
Her patterns do have a modern twist as well, and her color combinations are fun. You can even quilt along with her online with one of her quilt alongs.
You’ll really enjoy the pattern this month and getting to know her better.
