The Packed Suitcase
I worked on this triangle block during a weekend getaway in May. I’d traveled so light for retreat the previous month, bringing the smallest amount of fabric imaginable for three […]
Fabric
The Windowpanes
I had decided that I had definitely picked out all the fabrics I was going to use for this quilt, and I was going to stop adding more. But I […]
