EEEEP EPP BEE

Monday, July 16th, 2012

I’ve joined an English paper piecing bee – now there’s soemthing I haven’t done in, oh…a zillion years or so….but  Annabella twisted my arm and I’m in. In the EEEEP EPP BEE to be precise. You can see what we’re up to over on flickr, right here. My month is September, so I have to get […]
