Little Punkin wins a third place ribbon!
I checked out the International Quilt Association’s website this morning and found out that my quilt, Little Punkin, won a third place ribbon at the Houston quilt festival! “Bap” would have loved that!

All play and no work
It’s been all play and no work lately. Isn’t that what grandmas do? So, how does my studio get so messed up if I’m not even doing anything in there? Well, I need some major motivation! I figure if I tell you how messy my studio is, then I’ll have an urgent reason to get…
