I spent a fun-filled weekend in Louisville last year and learned there’s something for everybody in that town – sports fans, foodies and embroiderers!

If you missed Part 1 of the Bubble Quilt, click here. I’m getting there! Here’s a peek at my progress on the Bubble Quilt. Last week, I finished all of the embroidery (that is quilting) and trimmed my strips. Now, I have to piece and bind. I hated walking away from this project but...
It’s been a great week and we’re planning a fabulous Fall! What a week! Last Thursday I traveled to Cleveland to tape the second series of It’s Sew Easy television show.
