  • Memorial Day Projects & Sentiments to Honor Fallen Heroes

    May 22, 2019 /

And of course we need some homemade quilted treasures to sprinkle throughout the house. It’s a great time to be with loved ones and reflect on sacrifices that have been made and are made every day that allow us to live our lives…
