Do You Put Off Creating Your Desired Projects?

Published: Wed, 02/26/20

Hi ,

Do you often lose sight of creating the quilt or project that's truly on your heart? I know I've struggled with this, and lately it's come to the forefront of my mind as we deal with the aftermath of our recent flood.

So my message for you this week is please stop putting off making the quilts and projects you’ve most wanted to create!

It may be difficult, but it’s definitely easier than trying to create when your sewing space has been destroyed.
