Ready for Spring? I sure am. As I type this, I am looking outside my window at a fresh layer of snow. We had a blizzard here yesterday! The only bright spot when it comes to March snowstorms is that the white stuff doesn’t last too long. I have my garden seedlings started under a grow light and I’m getting anxious to get outside and dig in the dirt and plant some flowers!

My newest set of designs, Spring Mini-Rounds, reflects my love of flowers and bright, cheery colors. This set is a first for me: I have never worked in a round format before! It is a fun change of pace for me, and the round shapes made them easy to finish with some simple 4″ wooden hoops and a little ric-rac and ribbon.

This design set is available now as a downloadable, printable E-Pattern in my Etsy shop: SPRING MINI-ROUNDS E-PATTERN and will be available as a printed pattern leaflet from your favorite needlework shop.
