She made it as a page for Carmen’s book with the them of “In the Woods.” Since we have trillium among the wild flowers growing the three acres of woodland around our home, it seemed appropriate to […]
Janet Wickell has posted some very interesting information on fabric grain, Understanding Fabric Grain Improves Your Quilting Skills, and the importance of quilters and fabric artists being knowledgeable about this topic.
