Martelli – A Product Review
Blog-tember Sunday, Sept. 25: Review something! A place, a book, a service, a product. Anything at all! A few years ago, while taking a class given by Priscilla Bianchi at a major quilt show, I realized I forgot my cutting mat. I went out to the show floor to shop for a mat. I couldn’t […]

Mom’s Hermit Recipe
Blog-tember Friday, Sept. 23: A family recipe (if grandma allows, of course!). Every Christmas my mom would make cranberry nut bread and hermits.
