My Favorite Quilt & It’s Gonna Be a Fight!

Mother’s Day Giveaway!

Mother’s Day……….
Mother's Day is sneaking up on us and I ask my sister the same question every year, "What are you getting mom for Mother's Day?" She replies, "I don't know what are you getting her?" Neither one of us ever know what to get her or we don't want to tell the other one what we are getting her because …
