WIP Wednesday #3

Published by prairiehome under Parade of Projects

Published by prairiehome under Parade of Projects

Last night I finished the top from the Christmas mystery at A Pocket Full of Mysteries. I can’t wait to add the paisley fabric borders. :) I’m really pleased with the color combo Jessica and I picked out for this. This is the border fabric. The borders are wide so I might play around with [...]
