Just one more block for Amy Sinabaldi!

Sometimes I find my guests in unique ways. I was on vacation chatting with some other guests in a wine bar on a ship. My new friend was telling us they love to travel to wineries and had I been to Parsonage Winery in Carmel Valley, CA where the labels were quilts? Of course I had to find out about this and today, I have quilt maker Mary Ellen Parsons here!
