Do you remember that a while ago I made a couple of shirt quilts for a mom who lost her son? Well, after showing them to his dad, they decided to ask for another. No changes just do what you’ve already done, twice. Do you also remember that I’m the girl who loses interest easily […]

It took me a while to figure out just what HNY means to the millennials. I default to NY as New York. Anyway, as I read through some of the goofey comments on social media, I determined it acutally means Happy New Year! It’s a little early, but HNY to everyone! I’m getting excited for
Back in August a former student contacted me and asked that I make quilts for her two boys. She had been saving their matching tees for a couple of years and had enough to make each boy his own small quilt. They are meant to be quilts to cuddle under while watching TV or playing
