New Releases for May! – Plum Street Samplers

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…

I am owned by a Scottie (that’s how it works with those dogs!) named Ruby, and I am overjoyed to see one in your designs FINALLY! :o) I will be purchasing the Winsome Pair chart, but I’ll be changing the year in the corner to 1940 (and the ‘P’ to an ‘F’) – the year that Fala, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Scottie, was born! His wife Eleanor also had a Scottie, named Meggie.
Fala is the only presidential pet to be honored with a statue next to his owner (at the Washington, D. C.’s Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial).
