With each day's prompt, you will craft a new hand-sewn artifact, culminating in a heartfelt diary of memories. You'll also learn to care for your hands with hand yoga and consider lahout and form. Whether you gift it to a loved one or save it as a treasured keepsake, the Love Letter Quilt top is a remarkably way to tell a love story.
