Dang, EP! You need to post some pictures of all these creations!!
I'm still determined to finish my ongoing 3 projects but I have promised my
quilting friend I will be ready for some basic beginner instructions come
Feb when I see her again.
However, I found myself thinking about trying to copy these Pottery Barn
"gift" pillow shams. What a lovely next years Christmas gift they would
make!
With hope and heart,
Kathleen, back to lurking because I *refuse* to get too interested just yet!
