My BOOK PROJECT for 2025
​
Like many of you, I've been sewing since grammar school, made most of my clothes in high school, and have been quilting for the last 25 years.
​
When I began quilting, I documented the quilts I created,
made an extra block as a keepsake, and kept a sketch of each label.
My plan was to create a memory book one day.
Then, we lost everything in a 2020 wildfire. -->
