See this pretty pile of fabric… it’s going to be my first quilt project. I’m excited. But since 2 of the fabrics are vintage bed sheets I almost didn’t want to cut them up. Particularly because of the old school edging I sorta wanted to keep them in tact. However, I’ve recently been introduced to...
I came upon this talk, Things As They Really Are, by Elder Bednar about a week ago and can’t get it out of my mind. It was given just a couple months ago and it seems, just in time. Being in this crazy age of digital media and being among the first generation to witness...

Can't wait to see the finished project!!

Hey girl! Love the house. Can I get your email and B's email so I can add you to our blog? I think you have my email address. If not, you can have B text my hubby! Thanks!

Em–I'll send you our emails!
