I am still not doing well, but I have had a few better days and am now able to publish both the missing block and July’s block together. I do plan to release the final two blocks eventually, but I am not setting a specific timeline. I truly appreciate those of you who have waited patiently and offered kind words. I will not be responding to messages demanding to know when the next block will be released. These patterns are a free resource, and they will be available whenever I am able to share them. I did not choose to deal with serious health issues, and I certainly did not expect things to unravel so quickly. But now that they have, I am doing my best to manage the situation—and I ask that all of you respect that.
Last month’s block was a Rhino, and July’s block is a Zebra. I have a few words of advice about the Zebra block: if you have a zebra stripe fabric, please, by all means, use it and save yourself the trouble of cutting and stitching all those black pieces. I just could not find a suitable fabric, so I had to come up with a way to make the zebra look like a zebra—rather than a white horse with attitude.
EDIT: The period of free download is over, and both blocks have moved to the pattern store where they are now available for purchase.
I love your blocks! Thank you so much for giving them to us even when you are not feeling well!
Take care of yourself.
Thank you so much Beatrice. We will certainly be patient and thoughtful of you and your issues.
With my best wishes.

i can’t believe that as soon as you felt a bit better, you thought of us and sent the next two blocks. thank you, thank you and thank you again. don’t worry, just take care of yourself, and we will be praying for you to feel totally better.
Thank you so much for the adorable patterns Beatrice. But you didn’t need to send them to us right away. Your health is more precious and you need to take care of yourself first. I really appreciate you thinking of us though. I will be praying that everything will be so much better for you soon.
Danke für die schönen Blöcke. Ich wünsche gute Besserung und setze dich bloß nicht unter Druck. Gesundheit geht vor und so kann ich es nicht verstehen, wenn jemand etwas verlangt. Es ist ein ❤️ liches Geschenk von dir und Geschenke gibt man freiwillig.
Alles Gute und werde wieder gesund, dass ist das Wichtigste!
Beatrice, it’s important for you to take care of yourself. Nothing is more important than your health and well-being . This could have really waited. I know I sound like a Mom because I am. I am, however, grateful for all the patterns you have provided for free over the years. Please take care of yourself.
Sometimes life is a struggle but we rise above it as best we can. I hope better days come sooner than you expect. I thank you for so many free designs, and I wish you the very best for the future.

I’m sorry to hear you are having health problems , hope you are feeling better.
I Hope you are feeling Much, Much Better!! These are just Darling, Love them and thank you!
I’ve been ill myself and just recently heard of your illness. I am so very sorry and hope you are a little better. Over the years I’ve really enjoyed your beautiful and clever patterns. At 88 I have slowed down some but was doing the Safari. I’ve not been able to download any past #4 but looking forward to the rest. In the meantime, I wish you well and happier days.
