The top is done eth … And I included her (secret) name. Because it’s always fun to find something hidden. Especially if you’re five years old 🙂 And so today. Make the back. Sandwich the batting. Find some thick orange thread. And quilt away. –

Let the cheating begin.
A trip to Joannes to buy thread. Yes, I have a billion spools of thread, but of course, none the right colour. And then, a date with the sewing machine. Two flowers down. Five to go. See you on the other side. –
