Another Quilt for QBB
Yesterday I finished another little quilt for Quilts Beyond Borders. It was pieced with simple squares so I did simple quilting. Then, much of the afternoon and all evening was spent at the annual gala for the Emergency Shelter of…
November Small Group Challenge: Poinsettia Quilt
