Three Colors, Four Corners and Five Pattern Stripes

Anna Pearson is busy stitching a third color version of her "Tudor Rose" piece. She's also working a rhinoceros piece with elaborate corners and border stripes.

These designs can be ordered from Anna in England, so I put them under the Columbus trade show tab as new, but I thought folks would like to see how a design is changed by the colors chosen and how Anna is working a very elaborate patterned border.  Enjoy!
