• Sampler Spree Quilt-Along

    It’s been one of those weeks and it’s only Wednesday!.  I’ve been trying all week to get this post out, so I can tell you about the new quilt-along hosted by Moda Fabrics and Susan Ache.  But, when you work from home you never know what things will interrupt your best intentions.   So, let’s get right to it before I…
