2 Little Hooligans

Giveaway from my new etsy shop.

Well anyways, I saw this fabric… Keep Reading

What was your first sewing project?

This little quilt was my first sewing project some 16+ years ago. I never would have imagined way back then, that someday one of my littlest would be laying on it out in the grass.
