My quilt group meets every month. Usually its sewing, chatting, idea sharing through books, magazines, talking, drinking coffee, a little snack maybe…but twice a year there is the challenge reveal.

Today we met at Kathleen Leonard’s house and let me just say, she is a VERY creative person. We arrived and looked around her nice house, settled in with some coffee… and I began to slowly realize that the woman is a dynamo. She’s only been quilting about 10 years and she thinks she’s made […]
