Starting something new
After my rambling in my earlier post about all the patterns I have and not knowing what to do I decided to just work on a new quilt. I don’t need another quilt but I guess if I can’t sell it I can donate it. I am using the Bloom templates by Lori Holt to make […]

Thoughtful…….wondering……????
I have many patterns: clothes, dolls, animals, purses, toys, quilts, special quilt blocks, appliques, etc….. There are 100’s of them that I’ve collected over the years.
