Corrections...
I always test every pattern myself and hope against hope that no errors creep in. But if they do, I will update this page - and the pattern - as soon as they're brought to my attention. If you have a PDF Pattern and would like an updated copy, please contact me here.

Kitchen Garden
ASSEMBLING THE ROOT VEGETABLES ROW (page 13): The steps are incorrectly numbered and should read 16 and 17 (not 11 and 12), also you will be using a parsnip block, not a turnip!
STEP 13 Cabbages (page 15): On reflection, I should have made the 1¾” x 8½” grey brown strips 1¾” x 9" so you have more wriggle-room when you square up the block to 8½" in step 14.
ASSEMBLING THE CABBAGES ROW (page 16): Two of the cabbages in the row will be mirror images, which is not shown in the illustration.
STEP 16 Garden Tools (page 22): ...join a 1” x 1½” piece to the remaining 1½” x 4” sand piece... (not 1½” x 4½” as stated). The cutting directions (step 3) are correct.
ASSEMBLING THE GARDEN TOOLS ROW (page 24): The fork and spade are shown the wrong way around in the illustration.
GARDEN BORDERS MATERIALS (page 30): You will need 4 2" squares of the ginger print for the bee (not 1½” squares as stated).
