How I decide on Borders

Article continues below this Ad As is sometimes the case, I can't always meet a deadline I hope for.

Now it's time to show it off, PLUS I have a giveaway for someone that has shared. I am giving you until late January to post a finished top or full quilt, details at the end! Holy cow was...

Article continues below these Amazon Goodies Block 25 of 25 in my Grandma's Kitchen... is..... Famous Cookies! If you have read my stories you know that my grandma's really didn't cook well, so there are not a lot of family recipes. Granny, my dad's mom, used to make amazing Sugar Cookies that my dad loved.

She had a recipe for 'Very Good Sugar Cookies'.. which... Read more →
