I have been thinking a lot of the first few quilts I made.  I thought here I have been sewing all my life, so what is the big deal about quilting?  The first quilt was just alternating squares and I embroidered randomly on it.  Easy….Hahaha. I learned the lesson of NEVER say “easy peasy”. MyContinue reading “Throw back Thursday”
