What I'm Working On

This lovely picture was a commissioned piece that my client gave to her mother on her 75th birthday. She showed me photos of her childhood home, and the beautiful flowers and window boxes surrounding ...

Hours and hours of stitching and this beautiful little picture is complete. I decided to change it from a 5X7 image to a 5X5 square... partly because of the way the image looked as a square and also b...
