Gay Ann Rogers' Sale Starts Today

If you are a fan of Gay Ann Roger's designs, her sale starts tomorrow, October 17, 2019.

Gay Ann does counted canvaswork and her designs are usually stitched on either 18 count or Congress cloth.  We know that three samplers will be available (The Flowers of Spring, Echos II  Tudor Rose Sampler, and Drawn Thread Sampler) plus she has new designs that will be available.  Of course there will be more old favorites, and it looks like Carolyn Meachum will sell antique needlework tools as well in the Saturday Surprise Windows.  

Stay tuned!

Anna mostly does crewel on linen but if you use a sharp needle, you can replicate her circles on needlepoint canvas.
