  There are two new patterns in Nora Corbetts (the designer of Mirabilia) Spring Garden Pixie Couture Collection exclusively from Wichelt, sold and Julie’s X Stitch.  I just love the colors in both of these fairies.  Nora is famous for her beautiful fairies.  I have done several of them myself and have the cross stitched pictures hanging all over my walls in my office and home.  Gorgeous!

  Wow, it has been a busy New Year at Julie’s X Stitch.  Since right after Christmas the shoppers went wild.    I am also working on an ad for my store in Just Cross Stitch magazine for their March issue.  I am very excited about it.  Check it out on new stands in late February early March.

  Hope everyone is happy and healthy in the new year!
