September Round-up

It seems I’ve blinked another month has passed us by and we’re now in October with Halloween and Christmas rushing towards us! September a month where the leaves are changing, the air is getting cooler but still warm enough to not have to layer up. I’ve never really been a fan of the cooler months…… Continue reading September Round-up

If you go down to the woods today…

When my lovely friend told me last year that she was expecting their 2nd baby in June I knew right away I wanted to make them a baby quilt. We’ve been friends for about 10 years ago, I first met her in a very difficult time of my life and she was there for me…… Continue reading If you go down to the woods today…
