Free Pattern Day: PEACE and LOVE

~All of our free pattern days are archived in the FREE PATTERNS tab at the top of this page.~

As we approach the New Year our thoughts turn to hopes and dreams.  We've come across some wonderful *free* patterns featuring "Peace" and "Love".  These words and symbols could be used for any number of projects : a little L-O-V-E would be great for Valentine's day ! (Note: this post was updated on January 13, 2013).
