Becky’s Adventures in Quilting and Travel

Carla of  Creatin in the Sticks organizes such fun blog hops and I’m sure this one will be no different.  Although it is set up differently being a single day.  Before I make my 2021 resolution, how did I do with last years goals?

(Although she can sew, we took 4H sewing together) it was so fun to work on this together. On the label we couldn’t decide between two Harry Potter quotes so we used both. “It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be,” and “mischief managed.” 2. machine quilt the other baby q
