ACG 2015 Announcement

And now I'd like to present to you the first sneak peek of this new season of Colonial-Club-Stitching; this little cushion was designed by me, and was inspired by one of my favorite Colonial figures, Mr. John Adams, who wrote the following paragraph in a letter to his wife and "dearest friend," Abigail:

"…I begin now to think All time lost, that is not employed in Farming. Innocent, healthy gay, elegant Amusement! Enchanting Employment! How my imagination roves over my rocky Mountains and through my brushy Meadows!" (Philadelphia, January 22, 1794)

Tanya and I, and the ladies at Dyeing to Stitch in Virginia Beach are really looking forward to this new year, and we hope you like what we've got planned for you!

Yours, ever, ever, ever yours (as Mr. Adams signed),

Paulette

    It looks gorgeous, and what a wonderful quote to find, I love it. No doubt your Colonial series will be incredibly popular.

    I love everything about the new project, even without seeing all of it! Can’t wait until it comes. Last year was full of great projects, so I am truly looking forward to another year in the club! Thanks for sharing your wonderful talents.
