Good Bye Cotton Spice

I am sad about having to say Good Bye to Cotton Spice. I poured out my heart and soul into this business, but I am not healthy enough to continue working it. The site will only be up a few more weeks, and then it will be taken down. If there was anything you wanted to get there, get it now! 🙂

Copies of Cotton Spice Quilting Magazine can be downloaded at Currclick.com That link will take you directly to my account page, where you can download CS Quilting Magazine, or purchase copies of Ruby, and a few other things I have for sale there.

My new blog is HERE and my new email address is karne144 @ yahoo dot com.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this part of my life, I’ve met some awesome ladies through CS, and become friends with many of them. I feel privileged that I was able to do this for as long as I did.

You can still follow me and my projects at my new blog, but no more business, it’s all about my Needlework projects – sewing, knitting, embroidery and of course, my family.

Hugs to all of you. Karen

Bridgett writes, “This was the first shawl pattern I ever wrote for sale! It is near and dear to my heart. This shawl has a faroese type shaping and a middle panel. It will envelope you like wings when it is done and will stay wonderfully on your shoulders. You can also wrap it around you, cross it in front and tie the ends of the cloth (the “tips” of the “wings”) behind your back. You could make it bigger if you wanted to, just add repeats in the end.”

Click on the picture to go directly to this patterns page. Regular price $6, on sale today ONLY for $4.80! Even if you don’t knit, this is a great gift for your knitting friend 🙂
