My H2H quilt is done. It just needs to be washed before it goes off to Judi at Green Fairy Quilts in Utah. The quilting went really well; some of my best work. The piecing went really well too. I’m just pleased as punch with this one and rather than wanting to keep it, I’m [...]
Here it is finally!! The Hands to Heart flimsy that will be quilted, washed and sent off on the first leg of its journey to an orphanage in Romania in honour of Mr.Samardak.
