Lucky for me, I have a fabric stash that should carry me through. How about you? Continue reading “Quilt Diary: Welcome to April and another month of COVID-19”

Quilt Diary: New Year’s Resolutions-Self Care
Holidays were full of family, friends, celebrations, and hockey. As for most of you, there was not a lot of time to sew in the past two weeks. I am sure no one is surprised.
