Ricky’s New Quilt
With all the traveling and teaching Ricky does, it amazes me that he still finds time to quilt (and make great quilts, at that). But he does! He calls this new quilt Firewall, and you can see why. It looks absolutely lit from within, and the gold thread he used for the [Read More]
