We've got a few new designs coming out in June, including the next 3 Blue Notes in the series. There are also a couple of patriotic designs, which are just in time!
First, there is Liberty Bunting, a new Skinny Mini pattern. It's a super quick stitch and definitely gets those summer celebration vibes going.

I'm all in love with the new linen color from Weeks Dye Works - Delft. It's such a perfect blue for this blue-loving lady :) One of my favorite things about Weeks linen is the softness. It is always so soft. Perfect for stitching in hand.

You can pre-order your copy from your favorite local or online needlework shop! Our Auto Shops get these designs before anyone else.
Supporting our cross stitch shops and community is a primary concern for me, so I always encourage you to purchase my designs from your favorite local or online needlework shop. It's for this reason that you won't see my newest designs available for sale on my own website for a few months after they are released.
Check out our Needlework Shops page to find a shop near you, or an online shop.
