Hi Melita – I so enjoy your blog. I was watching the ort box and ort box with a twist with great interest. Can you tell me specifically where to get the patterns? I understand that they were in the program archives from ANG, and Carol Toll has been our president for quite some time, so she may have it somewhere. But I hate to ask her to dig for it, especially if I can be more specific. I thought it would be a fun program for our group – Apple Needlepointers in Camp Hill, PA. Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated! Luanne Shearer. lshearer621@gmail.com
