Leave me a comment. I love hearing from you.
P.S. Did you know there are well over 200 names for patterns? If you are curious to know more about them check out Artlandia Glossary of Patterns.
I knew 3 and 14 but the rest could not figure out that is why my house is not decorated lol

I knew half of them. I’m out of the loop when it comes to fabric patterns.
Awesome job! I put a lot on there. Thanks for participating.
Well I knew 4 out of 16! I thought I would know more!
