My SEWJO is back from Northern Deb Quilts

I finished a top! This is super thrilling for me since lately I just haven't felt like sewing. I lost my SEWJO in January and just couldn't get it back.

Well, this past weekend we met up with family. I met a niece for the first time and her two adorable little girls. I have tops made for the little ones but just haven't had the ambition to quilt them. But now I do!

May your bobbins always be full,
