SARAH LOUISE READ, DESIGNER
“My stunning summer wreath is all ready for you to start today! Use your Parade kit to make the flowers and leaves, then with your next two issues I’ll bring you patterns for the bees, bugs, bunting, and the wreath cover, along with all the yarn you need to make them. By the time the flowerbeds are blooming and the butterflies are emerging you’ll have a completed decoration ready for all to admire! What a great way to celebrate the joys of summer!”
