• Today is Bitsy’s Birthday!

    I’m never too busy to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Bitsy!  She’s 15 today! Oh my goodness I love her so much! She’s gray, deaf, and has a few more scars, but someday we’ll  be just like her.

XXX OOO  from your mom!

Yesterday Margot from The Pattern Basket emailed to tell me she she designed a quilt using my Lily & Will fabric!
