Gay Ann Rogers Sale

Gay Ann Roger's sale of charts starts today, Feb. 11, at 8 a.m. Pacific Standard Time.

If you love counted canvaswork or are a fan of delicate and feminine designs in general, you'll want to check out this opportunity to pick up some of Gay Ann's charts.  She only has sales 2-3 times a year and only a few kits are available at each sale and usually only for a week.  However, many sell out before the week is up....
