This is my quilt, which I have cleverly titled "Throw it Back". Not only because the fish are super wonky, but also because that is all we do … Continue reading Throw it Back!
I know, I'm a little bit early in the season to be playing with pumpkins. I actually made this quilt quite a while ago. I liked it so much, I decided to submit it to a magazine to be published. It took a while to find it a home, but I am happy to announce … Continue reading Pumpkin Play!
