Quilt Dash is “Sailing Away” this Month!

Quilt Therapy Posted on by

Ah, summers! Picnics, family, cookouts. Getting together at the water’s edge to camp out & run your sailboats. The paper kind or the real ones! 🙂 That’s what summers are all about!




For the July Quilt Dash, the free pattern that’s available to members who complete the Quilt Dash, this is what the pattern looks like:

According to the “Farmers’ Almanac” the Bees have been Slowly Disappearing
