This is my first venture in publishing a chart. There are so many people to thank for encouraging me to pursue this journey: for their love, support, advice, and always being there, Greg, my husband, Trace, my daughter, and Becca, my sister. Thanks and appreciation to Jean Lea, owner of The Attic, Mesa AZ, for her friendship, encouragement, support, and generosity. Thanks and appreciation to Debra Myers, my Color Muse and to Sandy Bortz, another Color Muse and talented framer, for knowing it was just a matter of time before I would publish and their excitement in seeing my dream realized. Thanks to Mark Harms for his excellent graphics work. Thanks to Cathy Campbell of Primitive Traditions, who after seeing my stitched piece graciously offered to display my model and charts in Nashville. Thanks also to Kathy Barrick of Carriage House Samplings and Tracy Riffle of Hands to Work, for asking me to model stitch their designs and encouraging me to publish.
