Sneak Peak...

This is a pic of the first quilt I designed!  Pattern is called 'Sneak Peak'. This quilt is called "Feathered Butterflies".  I'll have more designs in the future, but this pattern is available through the website.
Looking forward to designing more!  Have several in my head or in the rough draft mode.
