New designs this week honor and thank educators for their profound influence, as well as motivate children and encourage learning.

Favorite animals, toys, and food illustrate a whimsical new set of alphabet letters in an engaging bright style. Sew much fun for embroidery projects for children, grandchildren, students, and more! 

 Pockets-a-plenty keep chalkboards, whiteboards, and more organized for the upcoming school year.
