The Long Winter

Some winters seem endless, don't they?   For us winter came early with three small snows the week of Christmas and the first snow on Christmas Eve I ever remember. That was special!

Now it is rainy and warm, with temperatures in the 60s, which is about twenty degrees warmer than normal.  Good stitching weather, whether you are inside because of snow or because of rain.  Laura Perin has acknowledged this stitching time of year with a new entry in her Long Panel series--Long Winter.

It is icy blue and just the thing to keep you cozy during those long winter nights.  Thanks, Laura!
