"Quilting is a beautiful and complicated art" is one of the taglines I've had over on TerifiCreations. I had this for a while because indeed it is. Often as quilters progress through sewing they often land in the world of quilting and stay there. I landed here oh so many years ago in part because … Continue reading Looking: Still Waters run Deep
