WIP Friday - Long Weekend Ahead!

I'm so ready for extra time off, even if it's just one more day than usual! I am planning on getting a bunch of things going on both the embroidery and sewing machine and also take some time to relax! Orders and projects are starting to come in a little faster, so probably more sewing than relaxing...but at least I usually find sewing to be relaxing!

Sneaky peek of some gorgeous plaid fabric coming in June!
