Is the Storm over or about to begin?
It’s hard to believe we’re already working on the final prompt for Round 4 of our Quilts project! Time really flies when we’re immersed in our creative endeavours. I even needed a friendly nudge from Karol to get this blog post written – thank you so much, Karol! For me,
