Rain Drops Quilt Pattern and Curved Piecing
So in 2008, yes at least 10 years ago, I purchased a Judy Niemeyer pattern called Rain Drops. They have since redesigned it and it now looks similar to the original pattern but it now has more "raindrops" than the pattern I have. I started gathering the fabrics over...
The Golden Rule

Favourite Fabrics Part 2
