Just when you don't think you can handle anymore surprises in life you get another one, right?! I have to admit this is an amazing surprise and I am delighted and honored to have the cover story in the current issue of Creative Machine Embroidery! There are some cute ideas and projects in this issue so make sure you pick it up. While you're at it hop on over to Ellen's blog and see what else is new in the world of embroidery. I'm off to Janome Convention to work with my friends at Iris Embroidery Threads for the rest of the week and will bring any fun updates as soon as I am back!
