First Friday Freebie #20

At long last…another First  Friday Freebie!  Woo hoo!

I don’t know for how long but I’m happy to say that for as long as I’m able, I’m hoping to be back here on the First Friday of every month with a new design for you to enjoy.

To celebrate the month of September and the anticipation of autumn, this month’s FFF is called…

September Song

    Kaaren, You have so generously shared your gift with many of your past designs. They are all wonderful. But this one, September Song, is by far your greatest achievement in more ways than one. I wasted no time printing a copy so that I could get right to work. Originally, preparing block #5 of Raggedy and Friends was at the top of my weekend to-do list. I've just moved it down to task #2. Thank you very much. ~karen

    I love this pattern, and plan to trace it soon. So glad you are feeling better, and how lucky we are that you still want to share your talent.

    I have a question, when the pattern was printed out, there is a disclaimer about how we can used this pattern. It is normal and I completely understand the need for it. What I do not understand is how you can use the word (someone else wrote) from a song and not give credit to the writer? I would think that this is "borrowed" and that writer deserves the same consideration that you do? Just wondering how it all works.
