Since March is National Quilting Month, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to give an update on my quilting setup! For some who may not know, my quilting journey started five years ago with a teeny tiny Janome machine. I had never sewn two pieces of fabric together before…
Last weekend I traveled to Florala, Alabama for my very first quilt retreat. I was nervous and excited all at the same time, including about the drive to Alabama. The drive ended up being not as bad as I let my anxiety tell me it would be, and the weekend…
