I still haven’t located my camera, my skillets, my diary, the new toothbrush I bought to bring along, or the basket with my most crucial sewing supplies in it.

I recently had the honor of finishing up another quilt for my Great-Aunt Wanda. About three years ago, she gave me a quilt top that had been made by her sister, Mary. If I ever met Mary, I don’t remember it, because she passed away years ago, and Aunt Wanda was in possession of this […]
