My “wonderful” husband volunteered me to make a quilt for a lady. Thankfully, it is a small baby quilt. Mom helped me put the blocks together and I am machine quilting it today. I used a batting that stays in place by ironing the top and bottom of the quilt. That made putting it together [...]
I put the blocks together that I talked about in my previous post. I was able to add the borders to make it 108″. It is huge. I need more of the striped fabric to be able to finish. I am almost in the home stretch!

Kim is offering a special sale and promotion on her items. It is the perfect time to purchase your gifts and have them in time for Christmas. Kim [...]
