This week, we’re going to keep it sweet and simple. We worked on a couple of quilts from Jeanne Horton‘s Traveler line of fabric and it’s kind of crazy how different they turned out. Both are really good beginner projects (Traveler’s Crossroads is a super great project for new quilters!) and the colors of the quilts are nice and subtle. Very earth tones, but the fabrics are absolutely gorgeous!
Hope you all had a great Easter and we’ll see you next week
Happy Tuesday!
Teri & Marty
PS – We’re extending our sale on the Olfa Rotary Cutter Blades (2 pk 45mm and 1 pk 60mm) through til next week. This is a great time to stash some away before prices go up – again!
