I’ll get the stash report out of the way first.  I did good at the Quilt Patch sale yesterday and only purchased two fat quarters.  Will I ever see positive numbers this year?  I have three weeks to bust fabric before I go to the

Many people are having a tough time these days.  I can honestly say I don’t know anyone living a charmed life.  We all have unique challenges, whether they are health, finances, career, or family.  I saw a picture online today of
