The bias binding on Meadowood is such a great stas The bias binding on Meadowood is such a great stash buster.

It is such a strange holiday season this year for It is such a strange holiday season this year for so many of us.

I hope you will take this opportunity to spend time doing the things you love. There are going to be so many sales this week especially for small businesses. I encourage you to find a way to support them even if that means just a share of a post or a shoutout on stories. It doesn't always mean a purchase.

If there is a pattern you have been thinking about getting make sure to take advantage of the sale this week. Save 20% off patterns with code GIVING20. Happy Holidays and stay home, or wear a mask if you must leave the house!! This is only temporary but it could mean life or death for so many people around you.
