Snowing In October – Jim Names a Quilt
Jim walked into the guest bedroom -which also serves as my design wall and staging area - looked at the wall and proclaimed "snowing in October!" followed very quickly with "hey, that block needs to be turned...". See if you can find the block he's talking about... This top was partially made up by MOM. … Continue reading Snowing In October – Jim Names a Quilt

Here's a look at what the stash looks like before I started my organization... It's not… Continue reading Stash Patrol – Working Out the Working Stash by Pulling out the Scrap!
