Coffee Crossword: Puzzle No. 4
I would like to thank Diane Williams, the brilliant designer of Little House Needleworks, for encouraging me to make this crossword design. The beauty and creativity of Diane's designs deserve a separate chapter in the history of modern needlework. Stitchers worldwide are passionate about Little House Needleworks, and for good reason. Diane's magnificent collection can be seen here. Enjoy! ~Liz
