As we enter the new month of August, I cannot leave the month
of July without a word , a tribute to Barb Adams of Blackbird Designs who
passed away July 4th, 2021.
I felt the title of the sampler above fit for this sad time.
Barb Adams was part of the wonderful design company, Blackbird Designs,
along with Alma Allen which started in 1999.
Over the years they have created designs for quilting and cross stitch
loved by so many of us.
For me, the ideas they created for all different kinds of samplers and the
wonderful colors they chose for each pattern, is what drew me to their pattern company.
I have many of their patterns on my "stitch" bucket list waiting to be finished.
Many of you already know of this sad news.......but for those of you who do not,
here is a link with a wonderful tribute post for Barb from her friend Alma, as
well as a link for Barb's obituary . This site also has links to Alma's and other Blackbird
Design blogs for fans and information on charts and patterns.
If you search the internet
you will find many tributes to Barb and Blackbird Designs as well.
My sincere condolences to Barb Adams family and to Alma Allen.
