quilty!

Don’t get too excited—this does not represent a dive into quilting. More a dip of the proverbial toe. And while the water feels just fine, I’m not sure I’m ready for a swim just yet. Perhaps a bit more time to digest lunch is required.

made especially for ME

I’m not opening this post up to comments, because you must go over to Pam‘s to lavish praise, awe, and enthusiasm on the amazing, amazing birthday present she made me, if you haven’t already.
