In the class we’re going to […] Newly released Merezhka daisies cloth pattern I know that there are some of you who have really wanted me to produce some new Merezhka designs.

I’m really looking forward to it all, as I’ll be teaching new projects and in some new places. I’ll also go back to some places I’ve been before, and hopefully meet some students again. I received word yesterday that my merezhka class at Springwood […] |
