April Shower Thoughts What crazy weather we've been having lately! After a few beautiful, warm, spring days, there have been bouts of rain and now I spied flakes flying as I try to send out the newsletter this afternoon. But have no fear, Spring is here and that means Mother's Day and graduations are right around the corner. Speaking of graduation, take a look at this beautiful king-sized Tabulation quilt in maroon and white that was shared with us recently! A stunning gift that is so easy to put together with high school or college colors! Be sure to stop into the shop and share your projects, we love to see them! |
