  2. I'm so glad I could meet you all in Rennes in the rain! Love all the themed stitching, especially Nora's Rain Queen. The little magnetic raindrops are fun too. And yes, I did spot my Rainy R from Spring!

  3. Thanks for taking us on another fun trip! It's raining as I read this, how fitting. Love all the patterns you found but I think I'll have to make some of those magnetic raindrops some day.
