This week has a theme…SHOWERS.  My best friend is getting married later this fall and her shower is coming up in the next couple of weeks.  Plus, I know about 12 people having babies by February 2014.  Can’t make them all quilts so I need options.  For showers I love to do something personalized and/or handmade.

Time for me to get back into the sewing room this morning.  I have a few things I want to try and get done before work.  A perk of working from home.
