Nice Thought
Whether machine or hand quilter…Patience is required to learn a new technique, and remembering not to rush through the stitching before us ensures we soak in the calmness of our time with needle and thread.

You can sign up for the Mystery Quilt Challenge at https://www.projectlinus.org/ Make sure to specify Savannah / Hilton Head as the Chapter Name, and Ellie Grix as the Coordinator so that your donation benefits this local chapter.
