I would rather stitch

Kitchen on my mind
I am traveling. On my vacation in Spain I do not have any fabrics, I will be here 2 more weeks. I am thinking kitchen all the time. What II SEE is mostly Pottery. Beautiful! From Norway I thought something with meat. What bothers me is that
Measure twice. . . .
I was given some old fabrics that belonged to someone’s mother. Much of it had to be passed on to the animal shelter for dog beds, but there were some wonderful old cottons that were usable for my art quilts. One red checked piece looked like it came right
