Almost finished.
I am almost finished with the 2 memory quilts for my friend. These were fun to figure out and make. (Don’t tell anyone, but the pattern was way easier than it looked). All I have to do is sandwich and quilt them. I want to be able to get them finished this week I don’tContinue reading “Almost finished.”

Beautiful Snowy Day
Between Friday and Saturday we got about 11 inches of snow. Looking out my sewing room window it is beautiful. I hate our new windows for taking photos out of them. The screen gets in the way and the double panes have a tint to them. I love them for the warmth and blocking someContinue reading “Beautiful Snowy Day”
