January Quilt Block of the Month

The Quilt Ladies Pattern of the Month

Hate to say it BUT… I am exhausted, so for my books, my quilts and for my happiness, it HAS to be simpler for me. No newsletter, no daily…anything. Please just stop in to see what is going on, make believe it’s 1990?!?!

Going to focus on the things I love to share and offer. The shops are still open and I love them and all of you for all these YEARS.

your sewing line.
When you go to the sewing machine,
sew just to the left of the line or toward the part that
will be cut off. Sew only a thread or two from
the line making the piece turn easier.
