Yay! The queen-sized quilt I started 10 years ago is finally all done! Thank you to @sewcoolquilts for quilting it for me!

I'm really enjoying three dozen roses my husband gave me the other day for no reason. #besthusbandever

I finished a baptism #quilt for a local church.

I made 54 cards for #dyicad2019, my personal best for my 3 years of participation.
