  1. Hi Julie, lots of Goodies to check out again, thank you for the time you put into your blog for us to enjoy!
    I just love the poinsettia made with the QCR. I have printed out the tutorial but sewing time is running out here as I take to the skies (again) and land in Sunnyvale next Monday……hope to see you 🙂

  2. Hi Julie, I enjoyed browsing your fun site. Lots of quilting inspiration and it makes me want to get back to so many of my unfinished quilt tops.

    Also, thanks so much for the shout-out. That is really sweet of you.

    Hope you had a great Thanksgiving holiday.
