Quilter's Meme

Thanks to Shelina for creating this Quilter's Meme. The way it works is to copy the Meme to your blog, bolding all the ones that you have done. As you can see I've done many off Shelina's list, I guess one can't be a quilter for 23 years without trying a whole lotta things along the way!

Life is Good!
