1135
Rather an odd number, I know. And no, it isn’t my house number. Neither does it belong to my P.O. box. It isn’t a pin number or a password. In fact, until now I hadn’t associated it with anything in particular, so it is a number I could easily forget. That is, until my techie […]

Nostalgia Hits: How I got Started Quilting – Part 2 (of 3)

Nostalgia Hits: How I got Started Quilting – Part 1 (of 3)

I am a self-learner. I taught myself to sew and to quilt. And I taught myself how to draw. I am learning how to dye my own fabrics and am dabbling with mixed media.
