And we don’t even mind the driving (especially as we load up the iPad with movies, thanks to Netflix’s download option!). My husband does most of the driving, as he gets car sick… Read More
Sometimes opportunities come along when working with sponsors to get involved in a really cool project… For aaages I’ve loved the patterns they’ve been making in collaborationg with Art Gallery Fabrics – AGF Stitched – so I was really excited when they asked if I’d like to make their newest quilt pattern, Symphony.
