Pattern Tester Spotlight

Nancy Spry

Nancy continues to be one of our highest volume testers. Nancy recently found out that her husband Danny has cancer. We hope and pray that you will come through these challenging times with hope and courage. The following photos are finished blocks Nancy has tested, mostly using her own fabric. Thank you Nancy for your work, and I hope you will find peacefulness in the months ahead as you comfort and strengthen your husband.
