It’s getting to be about that time again!
Nearly every Monday since the first of January, I’ve been quilting with a bunch of crafty women here at the church. I’ve been working on my new Wanda’s Journey products for a fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Association. I thought I’d make placemats this year.
