thankful and pinned
Happy Thanksgiving! I only have Thursday off this year, but I had a great morning talking to my mom and pin basting this first small quilt. I did a little hand stitching around the hexagon. I tried tying some of it, but it didn’t seem right. I will have to spend some time looking at it …
July ufo- bike update
