Good to be back. I've been super busy. Between homeschooling three kiddos and endless housework, I decided to start a new business! Yep. I've been designing quilts and selling some fun stuff on etsy. You will be seeing some changes to the blog, but it's all good stuff!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've recently designed Summer Pickings. A sweet & simple quilt with wool applique. It measures approx. 40" square. I'm personally in love with it. </div>
