But first. In the next couple of weeks I will have a couple of quilter interviews including Elizabeth Rosenberg.

Please take a moment and give… Continue reading A Couple of Shop Events
Building vs Rehab
This post is a reflection, focusing on recent drive time thinking of the difference between building new vs rehabbing established based on my Word of the Year, Build.
