The Lone Star Updated

Laura Perin occasionally reworks an older design to both update the chart with more advanced software, but to update the colors and threads to show off all the wonderful things we have available to stitch with these days.   This time her Lone Star pattern has had a makeover, turning it into New Lone Star.  Even if you aren't a fan of counted work, you will enjoy seeing how Laura turns one design into something very new but the same.
