I need a coffee break.
So, I am taking one. And meanwhile updating my blog.

I have made a lot of progress on my blackbird project! I also made a small tabletopper for a housewarming gift for my sister. The pre-printed panels make it so easy; just add a couple borders and do a little stitching and you’re done! A nice gift for very little time.
