Stitch Guides from The Flying Needle

The Flying Needle in Bellaire Bluffs, Florida has dedicated a section of their website to stitch guides available from the shop.  I am not sure how many of these are by Dianne Colitz, the former owner, but all look interesting and there are a range of designs available, currently ranging from Associated Talents to  Shelly Tribbey and many many more.
