Keep those responses coming!
It is wonderful hearing what CEK designs people like and why. I’m running an unscientific poll based on all the responses. Right now Labyrinth is slightly ahead of Dragons Welcome, but over half of CEK designs (including those not on the Needlework Show site have at least one vote.

First my dad was in town for a business meeting, which meant we were able to get together Friday night. We stuffed ourselves at our fabulous local Lupe Tortilla’s and had a grand time. Dad had to leave early [...]
