Skirting the Issue 2019: Where to Donate
Like we said at the beginning of the month our approach to Skirting the Issue is a little different than in years past. As the time drew near I kept reflecting on different events that happened during the year. I told you about the accident I was involved in but there were loads of other events that led up to this shift. One of those was the organization of a city Quilt Show that I was in charge of.

Skirting the Issue: Simple Whole Cloth Baby Quilt Tutorial

This Whole Simple Whole Cloth Baby Quilt tutorial is one that any beginning sew-er can do and ... View the Post

Today we are starting with something I did last year for Christmas and am planning to do again this year...and that is.... Using my fabric scraps to create all the ... View the Post
