Basically Badass
The whole enchiladaPretty is for Plastic Ponies
Why Can’t We Just Have Pretty Quilts at Quilt Shows? - Here's why. Honestly big quilt shows are possibly the WORST place ever to really BE with a quilt, to take it in, the fabrics, the stitches, and the possibly moving message and artists statement. With so...
