It’s Been a Great Week!

I’ve got winners!

Thank you to everyone who responded to my At the Beach contest – may this summer find you at the beach – or at least at the place that makes you happy!

I had entries come in through email as well as the blog (blogger glitch…) so we put everyone’s name on a piece of paper.

I had my son scramble the entries & pick 5 names! (He’s used to being asked to perform the occasional odd task around the house…)

& the winners are

I know, I know – hard to read. I’ll be in touch with: Howdy68, Renee, Judybob3, Marilyn, Nicolesender

As soon as we connect, I will send you my latest release – At the Beach!

It’s been a awesome week for me as well.

Over 8 months ago, I was contacted by the editorial staff at Just Cross Stitch to set up an interview and design a piece for the August issue.

The issue is now available and man, is that cool! I had a great interview with Vickie Jennett (of Needlework Press) and designed the Black & White Garden Pinkeep. I have been so excited to share this piece with you.

Check out my photos – but wait – there’s more…I also have an ornament in the issue as part of the annual Ornament Preview section!

I shot a couple pics before I sent the model of to the editors. The message unfolds as you open up the pinkeep!

Congrats again to the winners.

Enjoy the stitch,

Cathy
