April 2014 Summary

I’m sitting here writing this Blog post and wondering just where did the month of April go!  It’s hard to believe that it is already May!!

Quilting for Good – This past month started with some travel so I missed Q4G, but am looking forward to seeing everyone on May 2nd.

Fabric Café – I’ve gotten some more tops to make, and have two of them finished.  They are heading their way to Donna and then to the Long Arm Quilter.
