Works in Progress
Finished Quilt Tops: Still no new finished quilt top this week, but I did pick out backing fabric for the Impromptu quilt. I’m going with a wide backing in a nice orange batik, and will pair it with my left over blue-grey painter’s canvas fabric from the front and a charm pack of Comma that…

Read MoreSo… this Lent thing….
For Lent this year, I decided to give up all of my extra spending. I’m not buying anything that I don’t NEED. That’s everything from new clothes, and fabric to take-out for lunch. It’s not been a week yet, and it’s already driving me crazy. I keep finding fabulous things I WANT. Of course, The…
