Stash Report And Little Progress

Posted on January 24, 2016 by quiltpaintcreate

Another Step Out Of The Zone

Posted on January 16, 2016 by quiltpaintcreate

I just signed up for the 350 blocks project over at Praire Moon Quilts. Just to be clear, hell will freeze over before I make 350 quilt blocks this year. I’m not much of a traditional quilter. There is some … Continue reading →
