We are at the penultimate month of the Mini Masterpieces quilt along! This month, we’re branching out into some hand sewing with English Paper Piecing.

For those who haven’t seen the news elsewhere, we have recently found out that we need to move, and so my life is now a chaotic mess of… Read More
