Design for My Quilt

As I told you all in my last post, I have decided to make myself a quilt.  The inspiration for the quilt I wanted to make, was a cute mini quilt from the Purl Bee. After some thought, I’ve come up with a plan to incorporate the idea of circles in a design that’s a…

Super Secret Project Update

The super secret project is more than 1/12 complete. This is pretty awesome. However, I did have some major sewing machine issues yesterday.
