Our Favorites
My daughter’s (she is 9) favorite pattern is the Mermaid Tail, although if you had asked her a few years ago I am certain it would have been the Princess Dress! My son’s favorite pattern (he is 7) is the Pizza Slice. He thinks it is awesome that you could snuggle into a slice of pizza! My favorite design is the Mermaid Tail and I think it will work up quickly!

I’m embarrassed that I just asked on a recent post for you to review this book, when I obviously read this review just a few months ago. So I’ll just say what I said earlier on this post. I’d love to see you review the thread Christmas ornaments or thread jewelry books.
