Night Eyes from Sewn Up

Our local community golf course is not very secure right now, so I volunteered to doContinue reading "Night Eyes from Sewn Up"
Throw made from TeresaDownUnder’s Night Eyes Pattern
This is the first quick test of Teresa's pattern.

Once I had pulled the fabrics from my scrap bin and from my stashContinue reading "Throw made from TeresaDownUnder’s Night Eyes Pattern"

Another one done!
