Appliqué Bow Quilt with Strawberry Honey Fabric
When Strawberry Honey showed up on my doorstep recently, I was so excited to tear away the packaging.

The dreamy pastel tones, […]
Week 8 – Forest Family Quilt Along
It’s the final week of the Forest Family Quilt Along and we’re putting on the finishing touch – the quilt binding. I have to confess that I really enjoy this very last step. And I really look forward to sitting down to hand stitch the binding in place. But I do love a good slow […]
