Connecting & Freeing Up

Connecting While perusing social media Debby Brown posted this link for ways to connect with one another while we are refraining from in-person contact. I knew about one of the ways for personal contact, the other two were new to me. The Quilt Show is having a membership sale right now. I rejoined last night… Continue reading Connecting & Freeing Up

Lighting a Candle

  In the current issue of Generation Q Magazine there's an article on the care and feeding of your sewing machine. I have to admit to getting a little excited sharing this information with people.
