Learning From Diane Gaudynski
Warning: If you are not interested in Free Motion Quilting, skip this post!

Linda lives where you can see a full view of the Sierras from her back deck-not bad inspiration, huh? I have […]

It’s even in the field he studied-Mechanical Engineering. He is off our payroll and he’ll have insurance, vacation, everything! While we were visiting, his girlfriend volunteered to take me to […]
