We have a new benefactor for our Annie pattern.. I am thrill to introduce you to Brenda Greenwalt. I received an amazing email from Brenda, who happened to hear about my fun Annie Swaps.. she asked if I would be interested in using one of her patterns. I have to tell you I was beyond thrilled at her request. I was also in awe and very honored that she asked me to use one of her patterns. Brenda is an amazing Annie Artist. She loves Annie's and is always designing new ones to share with us .. whether its through her on line store, or even through her news letters and blog. Speaking of blogs.. run by and thank her for her great kindness :0)
