Here be dragons! We've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Fireglow from for and I know many of you have been keeping an eye out for this collection! It fills a real gap in the designs we usually see, and I've got a couple people in mind that I know I'll be making something for!
We do have some backorders from this line, so keep your fingers crossed that we see those sooner than later. They just announced that there will be a reprint of this line coming in the fall, so hopefully we can make every dragon-loving heart in our community happy! What will you make with Fireglow?
