True North Quilted Tie
The other day I was talking with Trisha about the upcoming Project QUILTING Challenges. Now – if you remember – I have no idea what the challenges are until a day or so before they are posted. I don’t want an unfair advantage even though I can’t win any prizes. (oh – and I can’t […]

Month 2–Orange Peels–Bella Skill Builder

(You can thank me later for this EXCELLENT version of the crappy song you’re already singing in your head) Some men are better dressed than others – and sometimes it doesn’t even matter what atrocity […]
