Hi, Everyone! Happy November. Heard on the radio Monday, only 9 weeks till the New Year! Not great news, but it is what it is.

Here are 2 pictures of designs from a new designer from Pittsburgh. Bonny Woomer has 3 charts out: Cabin in the Pines, Nanu's Hankie {(not pictured) and the friend pincushion, which also can be framed. They should be in the mail to me the beginning of next week and I really like them. Hope she continues and we wish her good luck.

Last week, a customer and I were talking about Carriage House Samplings going out of business. We thought she might someday come back with a new name. Well, she's kinda back as of December 1. Kathy Barrick's sister Marty, will assume designing for Carriage House Samplings and she's interested in continuing the Hawk Run Series. Currently, she's an art director for the Washington Post newspaper and an oil painter. We wish her good luck, too, and can't wait to see some of her designs.

New charts have just arrived from Hoffman, so I gotta go and check out the new goodies. Keep Stitching!
