    New Releases for May!

    I had so much fun at Dyeing to Stitch in Virginia Beach a few weeks ago, and I still have to upload all those shop photos! What a treat it was to visit Pat and Ann and all the fun girls who attended the Spring Weekend retreat. 🙂

    But first, I need to get these upcoming releases posted before it's time to send them on their way to your local needlework shop!

    I've been in quite a patriotic mood lately! So it should come as no surprise that I simply had to include George and Martha (standing atop their home at Mt. Vernon)  in my designing endeavors…
