May tapestry....

I have been following your posts about the various months, and admiring them greatly, but am not sure what you plan to do with them. Will you have an actual calendar published?
Mary, I hope to exhibit them all together somewhere, perhaps also with the Seasons tapestries. And I will also probably have a calendar made of the images.
