Quilter. Writer. Artist
I realized just how long it’s been since I’ve posted a PIW. Oh wow! Of course, I decided to work on that. I mean, really? Thus, I present my lastest additions to “heart, quilts.” Though I have been pinning on occasion, I just didn’t get to the next step–Pin It Weekly posts! There are 13,563 […]
