Continue reading →: Dyeing results and a little quiltingWe have been very fortunate to not need any major projects done around the house for several years. 2026 is the year of all those delayed projects.

Continue reading →: Dyeing and quiltingThere’s so much money being spent around here on boring things that I really haven’t accomplished much else.
