  • A Christmas Quickie


    Shortly after I filmed this episode, I found out that my dad had died, and I needed to run to Dallas to be with my family. The quilt I show that I made for my brother became extra meaningful when I gave it to him.
    Thank you all for your condolences and prayers during this time.
