Fair Warning! Road to Red/White Trees!

Do you Instagram?  I'm not sure how this works, but
I'm willing to find out beginning November 12.
I have plenty of red and white fabrics--been saving
for Valentine's quilt..
But, you can purchase this line of fabric now
and be ready to sew, sew, sew to your heart's content!

You will need the following supplies:
+ A fat quarter pack of So Ruby Fabric
+ 1/8 yard of light interfacing
