Crying In My Beer
I missed a deadline, an important one. For the stupidest reason-I had the wrong date! It’s almost amusing how I could do this. I was trying to finish my Lily quilt for submittal to the Houston International Quilt Festival jury pool. Somehow I had the date as June 8th, but it was really May 31st. […]
