Failure and Rag Quilts

Tutorial Published April 27, 2013 at 4:52 pm No Comments

My daughter called me the other day and said that she went to Quilty Stuff because she thought her RSS wasn’t working.

November FMQ challenge

challenge Published November 25, 2012 at 9:23 am 4 Comments

I have to be honest with you. I didn’t think I would be able to finish up the year-long challenge. This time of year gets so busy.

Okay, so I admit it, English was my least favorite subject in school. I do not like writing. So why do a blog? Well, I really would like a record of what I have been doing. And I believe in sharing. It seems like the more you give, the more you get. There are so [...]
