As I mentioned in my Friday Favorite Post last week, I’ve been working on some English Paper Piecing projects and finished them up this weekend!

How is it already December? I really should be knee deep in Christmas shopping and Christmas making, but I’m pushing that off till next week. I don’t expect this month to be nearly as productive as last month, but I’m going to raise the bar a little bit on my plans and hope I can make everything I plan. I’m headed to Florida for a weekend trip next week and then the holidays will break up the month but time off always helps my sewing. Many things to look forward to this … View Post
