Sue Rainer and Theresa Venette believe that needlework can be more than the same ol' pumpkin, snowman, and flower over and over again. We're working hard to bring you something different. We hope our good sense of humor shows through in all that we create. These designs are available through Shakespeare's Peddler, but your local shop might have them, too; we're distributed by Hoffman Distributing, Norden Crafts, and Wichelt Imports/Mill Hill. If you have questions, comments, ideas or suggestions for Raise the Roof Designs, contact us at raisetheroofdesigns@yahoo.com. We love to hear from you!
