May Round-Up

Coming in a bit later than usual this month, but I've been a busy woman, what can I say? May has been taken up largely by non-quilty work (got to pay the mortgage and fabric bills somehow), but I did find time for some sewing. Hopefully Mini Archie will forgive my late submission to his …
