Cutwork Poppy Workshop
Well I think I have found a new addiction thanks to Kathleen Laurel-Sage! Look what I made with her on Saturday - it was so much fun and so easy: I have always loved cutwork but add this to my love of the sewing machine - well say no more....Have my very own soldering iron on it's way and more kits to make!
