Wordless Wednesday ~ Primitive Needle

Yesterday we learned that Lisa Roswell, of the Primitive Needle, died when her car was swept off the road by a flooding river as she drove to work at the North Coast Cancer Center.  She was an amazing designer and she will be missed.  If you would care to leave a message for her family, you can leave a comment on her blog HERE.  Below you will find a small sample of her amazing work.
