The plan was to have a “knock your socks off” stashbusting report this week but then . . well, you know what happened . . I stopped at not one, not two but three great quilt shops and blew it. I still came out using more than I added but I had hoped not [...]

Yep, that’s what my momma always taught me but dang it .. sharing my sewing space might not be something I can do.
