Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum has announced (through her Yahoo group in message 86618): “with great pleasure … that Beth Katz has become the new owner of Told in a Garden, Lavender & Lace, and Butternut Road” — all of which are accessible through the same website (Told in a Garden at http://tiag.com) as in the past.
This restructuring of the selling of Marilyn’s lovely designs, which began in October, has apparently fueled rumors of her retirement. All such rumors are completely false. Per Marilyn herself in the same message, “I will never stop until I am done.”
Beth and Marilyn are still working to get everything organized just exactly the way they want things to be on the website and with the new business setup. In the meantime, stitchers are asked to continue supporting their nearest local needlework shops to obtain her designs and the necessary supplies for stitching them. Doing so will help Marilyn and Beth out a lot by allowing them to focus on keeping up with the larger orders from distributors.
However, should you have questions about a particular design, or if you have difficulty locating a pattern, orders for Marilyn’s designs may be directed through the Customer Service link on her website.
