What’s What: Top-, Edge-, and Under-stitching
The Back to School Blog Hop is back and I’m excited to participate again this year. We had a great run last year (I talked about all sort of pressing issues – pardon the pun) and it’s back again with 32 sewists and quilters sharing our hard-earned wisdom with y’all. Thanks to the amazing Sam
