Not Quite Ready for a 12-Step Program from Appalachian Quilts

...but I'm close!


I was more intentional this year when ordering seeds.  I save seeds.  I love to save seeds.  I haven't, however, been able to save all the varieties I want to save.  While shopping for seeds this year, I deliberately chose items I wanted to save seeds from.
