OMG! I can walk into my sewing room. Can you believe it? With all the last minute sewing/quilting and packing and unpacking you can imagine how awful that room looked. Plus it’s right off the garage so it’s a great “dump” room for others. The last company I had in that room had to walk sideways to get in.

It was beautiful but scarry with only a 3' shoulder between us and the g… Continue

If you EVER have a chance to go to Festival, you won’t be sorry. It is truly something you think you know but it’s that and more. One hour before the doo… Continue
