He’d secretly booked a 3 day… Read More

As a part of planning to do this, and looking beyond, I did a little bit of research within my Facebook… Read More
When I saw Kristy mention that she’d signed up for the May the 4th Mini Quilt Swap, I jumped onto the computer that very minute and signed up myself.

What little time I’ve had to sew this week has been consumed with the epic stacks of these guys… this is the last I can show of this project for now, but all will be revealed later this month!
