Note From the Editor

Spring is when outdoor activities start to ramp up. We focus on our sweethearts and loved ones for Valentine's Day. We start fiddling in our gardens -- well, I don't, but you may. I do not have a green thumb, but many are getting gardens prepped and planted. We are thinking about all the fun things we can do now that the weather is getting warm. And so I wanted to focus on these things for this issue.

There are patterns for Valentine's Day decorating and gift-giving. There are also a couple of lovely garments you can wear out on the town for date night. There are lovely spring doilies with a floral theme. There are fun projects that incorporate flowers and florals in unique ways for your home and your wardrobe. There are even scattered in a few adorable projects for any upcoming baby showers that you might be attending ... They do seem to happen more this time of year.

Be sure to stay connected to us on social media for insight behind the designs, inspiration and tips! And hashtag and post images of your projects on all of your regular social media platforms. Let's get chatting and sharing the love!
