Extending the table
I know it might seem as though I’m not making anything … but the opposite is truth … I’m finishing my second commissioned quilt, which I don’t feel comfortable publishing, as it’s not my work – except for the quilting. But we have been busy in our house and atelier. The baby is due in […]
