Don’t tell me you’re surprised that there are multiple podcasts dedicated to quilting! Oh you silly, thing, of course there are! In this one, we get a little more personal and I share some of the health challenges I’ve been working through and how quilting has helped me find a new way of approaching things.
QuiltBuzz!
