No Time for Sewing
It’s been a very busy summer. No time for sewing at all. I truly miss my studio and a new quilt on a design wall that has been waiting for me patiently. For the entire last week I was traveling in Lithuania with my friend from New Zealand. I thought I knew my country well… Read More →
