Him joining all your crafty Finish it Up Fridays - at least for one, the last time. I wish you all the best for 2019.

I love your use of scraps and enthusiasm for making, and Finish it up Friday galvanised me into finishing projects in a way that nothing else has done! I completely understand your need to spend more time with your kids now: I have older children, sort of grown up, but they definitely needed me around more in their teens than as little ones, and you never get that time back again. I am glad to have your books and that we will still be able to look back at your blog for the future. Thank you for being so generous and sharing your ideas - I have loved following you, and I will now HAVE to learn how to do Instagram! Best wishes for the future to you and your family.alison@the chainpiecerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770555626441961405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-62229554637521315132019-01-02T21:57:54.892-06:002019-01-02T21:57:54.892-06:00Blessings and divine direction to you as you "...Blessings and divine direction to you as you "reinvent" yourself.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00810349682997131080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-39002548567945460232019-01-02T19:54:16.406-06:002019-01-02T19:54:16.406-06:00Amanda Jean, I have made so many of your quilts, I...Amanda Jean, I have made so many of your quilts, I own your books and fabric, so needless to say you have been such an inspiration!
