Hello and Happy Spring. The weather has been crazy, I know, but according to the calendar it is Spring!
That means you have a few months left to get quilts finished for the local quilt shows & fairs. We wish everyone who enters a quilt in a quilt show or Fair the very best of luck. Your creations are lovely and so very special because they are made by you. Our customers are the best and we so enjoy seeing everything you do.
