Wonderful quilts Lucy, especially the Talent Show. Which one is you in the photo because I just can't recognise you?
Lucy I enjoyed every minute of your journey at Festival of Quilts...caught a few on Facebook too.
How did your Flying Geese bag hold up? I loved it too and you were one whom inspired me to make one too. I tagged you on IG..hope that was okay.
Thank you so much.
