Not that you’ve noticed, but I’ve been a bit absent online lately. I’m extremely busy with some very important projects and deadlines (and very behind on some of them), so I’ve had my nose to the grindstone. Did you catch that word “extremely”?

My friend, Edie McGinnis, has recently had her 18th (I think) quilting book published! This one is called Finders Keepers Quilts, and it’s chock full of reproductions based on a fantastic find of vintage quilts in an abandoned farmhouse in Iowa.

Posted on February 5, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio News
