Since one of the last blogs I did was for my 2009 Needle Arts Mystery Retreat design, I decided I should post my 2010 design.

If I get ambitious enough I'll post a picture of the whole project in my colors.
And, of course, I'm working on my 2011 design. These colors are different from anything I've worked with before.
Can't wait to see how it turns out.
