Saturday Odds & Ends
Doing the Things We Love to Do….
Imagine my surprise when I noticed the leaves outside my quilting room door had the same colors as my latest circles! Hmm… I do love fall and all it’s gorgeous colors. These circles represent days 27 and 28 for Quilty 365, for a total of four we…
