Today’s Featured Mom has taken her love of simple things to a soft, familiar place. Allisa, the mom behind quiltish, sews because she loves to – and it shows. H: How long have you been doing what you do? A: I’ve been creating forever. As a first grader, I was queen of the popsicle dollhouse furniture and the easy bake [...]
