Holiday Party and Swap!
We made it through our first year! Who would have thought? It feels like just yesterday we started this journey. I was full of excitement and a little uncertain about what lay ahead. Now, I hope we can ignore the hiccups and look back at the great moments we’ve shared and the bond we’ve built over the past twelve months.

The Holidays!
My goal: NO PROMISING THE MOON AND DELIVERING A LIGHTBULB! Hey all! I'm absolutely excited to see you all on Wednesday. I miss our sewing shenanigans together—even if I did bump into many of you at Quiltfest. It was so fun checking out everyone's quilt show entries and the Scrappy Quilt Challenge there. One day, I hope to be part of the cool Quilters' club. This year, I dabbled in one BOTM challenge with Chantel, and I'm kind of on track to finish it. That's the only thing I'
