Is anyone else struggling to comprehend the fact that we’re already into the third month of 2022? I’m still over here writing ‘2021’ every time I write a label to stick on the leftovers I’m stocking in my freezer, for when my kids get home from school ready to chew a hole in whatever they can lay their hands on.
Anyway, I’m pleased to showcase our latest designs included in our March 2022 release for your stitching pleasure. These four new designs will be advertised in the latest issue of Down the Rabbit Hole Cross Stitch Magazine and the March/April issue of Needlework Retailer March/April.
