Enjoyed reading about your sewing process, and how you set up and plan your sewing. Organizing is not one of my stronger traits and this will be very helpful to me, especially when I start my SWOON blocks. I like how you made them a little smaller, although I plan to do a 'test' block in Christmas fabrics for a pillow before starting a full quilt! Thank you again and look forward to following your blog!MaryAnnBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01838657013293414276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-1919848947893108782011-11-14T16:19:26.312-06:002011-11-14T16:19:26.312-06:00I loved being the fly on the wall!
