Learn more about interlining and interfacing for couture jackets so I can re-do my daughter’s and make it perfect. Print out these maps and make something cool. Make this tote/clutch, even without the tutorial (it seems to have completely disappeared?) Make every item in the new Stuffed Animals book by Abby Glassenberg.
Finally got one of Great Grandma Massingill’s quilt tops from my mom. She’s been holding onto three of them since her grandmother passed away in the mid-80s. For nearly thirty years they’ve just been waiting for someone to finish making them into quilts. Well, the time has come.
