Laundry is the thing that never ends. Ever. Even when I am "all caught up" on laundry I'm really not because the clothes that I am wearing right then will still need to be washed.

Grandfather’s Lap Quilt Free Quilt Pattern and Tutorial
Today we are excited to share with you a fun lap quilt pattern and tutorial. The idea for this quilt began when we were invited to contribute to a blog tour that was celebrating the release of the new line of wool from Penny Rose Fabrics.
