[Quilt How-to]
Uncategorized
OK, so I officially have the quilt bug. I get it. While my quilts up to this point have been very simple, I understand why spending long hours, working on intricate patterns and tiny stitches is completely worth it…and…slightly addicting.

So things are starting to look more like home around here and I can’t tell you how much of a relief that is. I don’t do well amidst clutter and boxes – let’s just say it doesn’t bring out the best in me. For better of for worse, I’m highly influenced by my surroundings. So …
Back-to-Fall Wardrobe:
