Time to think Spring??

The newest patterns will be up on the website at the first of the week, so now it's time to start working away on.....well,.... the NEWEST new patterns! LOL!!! I have all of the patterns drawn up for our first Stitchery Sojourn Retreat in October and Sheila has started stitching on them (they're SO MUCH FUN but a BIG secret!) and now work on the new patterns for Spring has begun! This is a little preview of "How Does Your Garden Grow?" (as in..."Mary, Mary, quite contrary etc....") It's so bright, sunny and cheerful it makes me happy just to look at it. I'm going to start stitching today... hopefully I'll have it done by Monday and I can start on the pieced blocks (they'll have some stitching on them too!) Then we can send it to the quilter so that it will be ready to release in October!                                                                                                            It's so exciting to start new projects! I feel like a big breath of fresh air just swept through the studio!!

Just when I think your latest pattern is my most favorite-you come out with something even better! I am now living for October-the flowers look WONDERFUL! B in Reardan

YES!! I just received these samples from Lecien...it's "Sweet Broderie" by Rosalie Quinlan. It's just so darn HAPPY! I'm having so much fun stitching the center block. The California Poppies are SO pretty and I'm LOVING the Shirley Poppies! Can't seem to put it down! LOL

Oh so fun! Can't wait to see this one finished! I love the colors and am excited to see the "colored" portion... are you coloring that before you stitch?! SO PRETTY!!

Dear Meg,
I love to start new projects too. It's the
finishing that slows me
down. I love all stitching
but yours most of all.
