  1. I wanted to print this pattern but I ended up getting the purple background.

    Have you ever seen a post where they have a PRINT FRIENDLT logo at the end? It allows the person to print the blog post . . . I use it on all my blogs. It works PERFECT for patterns and recipes.

    Here is the link:
