My bestie, Victoria, says “Never say ‘Never say never’, or that’s the thing you will end up doing!” And turns out, it is so true. I used to say I never wanted to make a Log Cabin quilt, but I’ve made several, and am working on one right now! I also said I never wanted […]

So here it is, […]

This is it! The final report of 2020! Our last chance to count our blocks made this year. I didn’t have a productive month of December, at least not as far as making blocks goes. I made two lone little 9-Patch blocks, and didn’t even take a photo of one of them! Here’s the one […]
