‘True Love Quilting Club’ makes quilts sexy

I was not expecting such a steamy book when I picked up “The True Love Quilting Club” off of my grandmother’s shelf. But once I started the book, I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. While there is a decent amount of quilting in this book, it is primarily a love story, and […]

A new addiction

I’ve watched a million, OK maybe dozens, of YouTube tutorials on chalk pain, examined the beautiful brush stroke-free finishes and drooled over the colors in the Annie Sloan color chart. But I wasn’t quite ready to take the plunge without taking a class first. I wasn’t sure which brush I needed for what technique, how […]
