Two Big Brags!

I’m doing a happy dance times two! This weekend will be the opening of My Corner of the World, a Studio Art Quilt Associates exhibit that will debut at the Stratford Perth Museum in Ontario Canada.

It’s always a challenge just to get there with all my stuff intact. I shipped two huge boxes ahead since I made […]
