May-be Someday Block Lotto
May 14th, 1787 was the date earmarked for the Constitutional Convention to take place in Philadelphia, PA to form a more perfect union of the then 13 newly independent states.

And […]

What I love about my Sew Space by JEB (Jenn Brunner): It’s right in the thick of things. I used to have a small sewing […]

I went with red because it reminded me of cranes, but you can choose whatever single bright/bold color you would like against the gray background (multiple fabrics should be roughly the same […]
