Happy Winter! I am ready for Spring!
Hello Stitchers!I hope this winter has been good to you so far and the snow (or whatever you are lucky enough to get) is allowing for lots of stitching time. I was able to get a way for a quick girl's trip at the beginning of the month and it was so much fun! I even fit in a bit of stitching poolside..........
and now it's finished!
This little cutie is available on our website and will be making its debut as a class piece a little bit later in 2022 so keep a look out if you are a pink Christmas tree fan. TRUNK SHOWS:We have lots of great trunk shows lined up for the next couple of months. January:
