Wow, this was such a difficult decision this week!! Usually one or two really stand out to me. Not this week — I wanted to vote for ALL of them! :)
Hi Michelle: It seems the choice gets harder and harder to make each week! I chose the vintage blocks saved and embellishe with applique – sweet!
I read the list of weekly quilt competitions with interest and would like to showcase my sister website which specializes in vintage houselinens and other occasional items such as vintage quilts and quilt kits.
Have a great weekend.
