I’m just reminding myself that I only have so much time for projects, and I should use the stash I have first, otherwise I would be searching 😅

No need to apologize lol - if I wanted to avoid finding out about new-to-me designers, I wouldn’t be stalking the cross stitch feed 😆

I love knowing that there are people who have tangible reminder that someone cares, in the form of a quilt.

I usually make quilts to be given away and loved to pieces. I don’t want my quilts to end up stored away because they’re “too pretty to use.”
