Fall Needlework Market is almost here! Many new releases are pre-order and will ship as soon as the charts arrive from the designers. I will keep this page updated after the market to let you know what charts have arrived and what is shipping. Please check your order for accuracy before completing your purchase. Due to large volumes this time of year I will not be able to combine orders. I appreciate your understanding! Happy Stitching! ~Michelle
