Thanks, I’m glad you like it! You may be able to see the originals from the book in the traveling exhibit. New venues will be added to fill the 2 year exhibit time. Check the “Pocketful of Posies” page.

Patty, I admit to being obsessed when it comes to stitching, but it has to be my own free and changable design, no boring patterns or outlides to fill in!

I am amazed at the volume of stitching in each piece of work. I am sure you must be quite near a worlds record ! Even the use of the variegated thread gives the work a lovely rhythm !

So wonderful and fun to see your process! I, too, enjoy listening to public radio programs as I do handwork at home.

What beautiful colors you chose! The pale violet is so pretty and make the little characters stand out more. So very, very pretty and well done!

Oh Emily, I listen to music (WUMB) and talk programs on National Public Radio, which helps keep me infomed about obscure subjects. We even have our own public radio station (WCAI) in the village of Woods Hole. We’ve lived without TV for many years and I don’t think I could work and watch TV at the same time, anyway.
