Two secret commissions ...to be revealed next year.
NEW UNFINISHED - 2022
Hugs and Kisses - Cool Breeze from Free Spirit version - Options
I think I like this first one best, but the dark green is how I originally designed it ...but the fabric is greener vs. just dark from when I saw it digitally. I'm showing these other options from the collection that I have to work with. I won't have enough to do a proper 2" finish, but based on the golden ratio 1 1/4" should work ok. I think I'll use the dark blue for the binding.
Sneak peek at a 3-part pattern coming soon via the Country Register
