One of my repeat clients likes to give me pieces that are a little different. The first one I quilted before she had added the appliqué pieces. Unusual, but easy enough. This piece is even better. It is a memory quilt made from baby girl clothing. So much of it is ruffly, on purpose, and … Continue reading Sugar and Spice
Sorry I haven't been around for a bit. This is what happens when I get a chest cold and refuse to go to the doctor. I get bronchitis, and I'm useless for a week or so.
