Olfa 35th Anniversary Block + Giveaway!
OLFA asked if I would help design a 6.5″ unfinished block, to be combined with the blocks of other designers and incorporated into a 35th Anniversary Quilt for Houston Quilt Market this fall.

I’m going to spend some time over the next couple weeks updating the blog on some magazine projects I’ve had the privilege to create!
