Hello Reader, I hope your weekend is going well and that you've been able to spend a little time with your quilting and sewing projects.

I'm also spending lots of time getting ready for International Quilt Market in just a few short weeks. I'm excited to share this incredible collection with the world along with our...

Hello Reader, I hope you're having a wonderful weekend. It's been hot here again this week which kept me in my sewing room.
