I found this pattern while surfing Pinterest and traced the pattern back to Ramona at Doodlebugs and Rosebuds quilts. It caught my eye immediately as something I’d… Read More »
I had scheduled today and tomorrow off quite some time ago for a quilt retreat, that of course, given the current situation with COVID-19 has been cancelled, and rightly so. So instead of quilting with friends I’m taking today and the next three days to quilt. I’m not as focused today as I had hoped… Read More »
