Patchwork Squared Modern Solids Quilt Along
I have the top of my quilt all pieced together! I LOVE it! I truly think I have found a new love in solids. Now I have to decide – save for my own long arm or start my Kona Solids collection…hmmm…perhaps – both!? Now, I just have to get the back ready and send […]
God Bless You Persimoni Mae
Last Saturday, June 11th, Persimoni Mae was baptized. It was a lovely day that I would have enjoyed a tad more if I didn’t have a stomach bug. Here are a few pictures from then. Kim, Jared’s cousin, is Pip’s godmother and her husband Lee is her godfather. Pip did really good for the ceremony […]

Get Your HOT DOG and HAMBURGERS!
