Linnea 'Ea' quilts...

I have BLED for this quilt.

The second one was when my little boy started kicking  me on the lap and legs while I was sitting on the sofa (and sewing on the first border). He kicked a pin straight into the right side of my right knee. I bled through the pajama-pants I was wearing, and I won’t hand-sew while sitting there in a looooong long while either now. That much pain was quite eno...
