So many pieces to get caught up with you on! Wonderful!
I did check your flatfold tutorial. I was hoping it would be the same as the one you showed finished on this post.
Good to hear from you again! You certainly have been busy! Some beautiful stitching!
Wow lovely stitching .
Lovely blog ,good to have you pop in again.
Hi Meari! I'm so glad that you made a new post! I follow your blog, but I think you only get notified when you log into blogger? It seems years ago subscriptions for emails were available. I digress. It's wonderful to see your projects and I love the Faithwurks spool. I had just recently ordered some of those monthlies from Nancy. I hope things are going well for you in all other aspects!
