Yeeeoooooooooooooowwwww! Another month done gone! (To paraphrase one of my favorite old songs by Bobby Bare: Marie Laveau) How was your month?

But then, too, it has kept me inside sewing, so I can’t complain about that part! This month I ended up with a block total of 34. Here’s what I worked on . . . I made four […]
