A while back I was making quilts as Christmas gifts for my nieces and nephews. I have a large family so I needed some patterns that went together quickly but I wanted to make sure that each kiddo got a different pattern. My oldest nephew was eight at the time, and his favorite color is …

Trip to the Fabric Store!

On November 10, 2018 By The Quilt PoliceIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Yesterday the husband found an Argon compressed gas tank for sale in Duluth. He's been looking for one for a while since he got the new welder so we made plans to drive up and get it. We don't have a lot of retail stores in our area so as long as we were making …
