New Release - Available beginning of August!

"LAKE LIFE" will be shipped out next week sometime so be sure to ask your local needlework store to watch for it under Hoffman Distributing's New Releases shortly!  Ahhhh summer may be half over but there's still plenty of long, lazy summer days left at the lake or beach - cheers!

And the winner is.....

Well I asked and then you all told me your opinions and black/white charts it is!!!  I am just publishing the attached chart called "ON THE ROAD" so here is a picture of the framed design and what the new black/white format looks like.  Fingers crossed you all love it!!!  I will post this weekend who the winner - or perhaps winnerS are from leaving your comments about color vs black/white.  Happy stitching!!!

Chart Survey - Color or Black & White?

After receiving an email from a stitcher who posed an interesting question for me which I will share with you - do you prefer to have your cross stitch charts in color or black & white?  

It's actually a pretty valid question - chime in with your comment/preference on what is easier for you to read when stitching a design.

Everyone who leaves a comment will be entered to win one of my new summer designs so pass along my blog to everyone you know who loves to cross stitch.  Also check out my last post about buying threads and weigh in there as well!

Thanks and happy stitching! 

PS. I have absolutely no corresponding picture to post here so I will select something totally random!!!
