My goal this summer is to finish all my unfinished projects. I am well on my way. I finished piecing five quilt squares that i will frame and hang along my stair case; I have the major strips of a Flying Geese quilt don; all i need to do now, is make a new template for a the celtic knot on another quilt- i’ve left that one so long, the marks have faded. I love reading your Facebook posts!
