PQ 13.3 Kitchen Influence

This was a really fun challenge for me. I don’t make potholders and have bowl cozies so what could I make? It was a fairly easy choice because I had picked up a few towels last year and found them when I was looking for something else. I had an idea of what I wantedContinueContinue reading “PQ 13.3 Kitchen Influence”

These past two weeksContinueContinue reading “January Scrap Happy Day”
