New from SharonG

Cat and Owl by SharonG

I've been dying for SharonG's website to be updated and today it is!  There are new single canvas versions of some of her famous Tripych pieces, new flowers, several owl and cat designs that'll blow your socks off, and two tiny jewel-like oriental rug designs.

The small Cat and Owl is my favorite but I know the realistic cats have many many fans (and a third cat canvas in this series is underway) and of course there are always the SharonG classics to stitch.  Her fountain pens, bra and tap pants sets, and those lovely scenes of Italy and France she does never ever go out of style.
