You guys, I am SO excited about this Friday. We’re staying up ALL NIGHT and sewing NON-STOP, and we have so much going on in the back ground! It all starts at 7 p.m. with our Sew-A-Thon reception, a…
The winner of the embroidery starter kit over on The Long Thread this past weekend has been announced, and her kit is all packed up and ready to go to its new home. Myself, I’ve been a little preoccupied…
