Front and Back Covers
Three Of A Kind by Ro Pace is a rare treat for the stitcher! You will marvel at the difference in the appearance of this project when the same stitches and techniques are done by three stitchers in three very different color palettes! Ro's original palatte, show on the front cover, gives me the feeling of a gentle and cherished "antique" setting. Lori Wolf-Block's beautiful version makeks me remember a perfect day in our vast Southwest, while Michael Boren's interpretation is bold and contenporary with a crisp look. The entire project is presented in this issue and starts on page 7.
