Summer Rose (Loretta Spears Designs)



Summer Rose is a Loretta Spears Designs ornament published in (June?*) 1992.  The design is round with horizontal bands of pattern and an 8 step stitch that resembles a rose in the top band.  The overdyed floss is a pale blue and pink mix.



*The instructions page I have seen is dated C 1992.
