Tula's Bloomers – Lissylaine

Bright bloom

As promised from the State of Quilting post, here is my newest bloom block.

Just two more blocks to… Continue reading Bright bloom

In 2014, I was able to snag just a few 5-inch pieces of some of Tula’s older collections in a “City Sampler… Continue reading Jellyfish bloom
