My husband tells me that even though I can’t write much about what I am currently working on, I should make a post to that affect. But I know you want to hear more than that, now don’t you? Like, where the heck I have been for the last 5-ish months? And what’s been going on in the world of hasty quilting? And what even happened to that crazy art show I was taking part … Continue reading

I may have taken a class here and there, but mainly, it’s all trial and error.
