2011 In Review

2011 has been an amazing year in my crafting journey. I have considered myself a quilter since I finished my first quilt, but this past year, quilting has evolved from a fun hobby to a way to reduce stress, express my creativity and renew my spirit. Thank you for joining me as I continue to explore all that quilting has to offer.

Lessons Learned in 2011

·         I do not like working with templates.

·         When in doubt, start small.
