NEW Crochet & Quilt Patterns

Published 6 months ago • 1 min read

Happy Friday y'all! My website just hit a major milestone today, I just published my 100th post and it only took a little over two years working part time on this. Blogs are a lot of work but I'm doing it for the love of being creative and finding others who are like me. Passing down traditions of crocheting, sewing and quilting to anyone who is interested in learning. Plus free patterns and inspiration, at least that's the goal anyway.

Here are some random fun facts about me, so here we go:

My current favorite movies or shows are Remains of the Day, Vera, Midsummer Murders, Marple, Poirot, Lewis, Ballykissangel, and Inspector Morse.

My current favorite reads are Agatha Christie's Marple - 12 New Mysteries and Confessions from the Quilting Circle.

My favorite programs to watch while sewing or quilting is definitely Escape to the Country and Heartland.

Here's what's happening on the blog below and thanks again for being here!
