This group of trees starts with a paint and crayon picture I made as a child of 7. Next is a detail of a painting I did in art school and then part of an early fabric relief winter scene. The last two are taken from my book, Pocketful of Posies.

Gorgeous.
I really love your creativity. It is always a pleasure to come and see your beautiful scenes. Thank you.
Amazing, amazing! Beth
So beautiful. When, in 2010, will the book be released?
The book, Pocketful of Posies: A Treasury of Nursery Rhymes, will be published next Sept. by Houghton Mifflin. I’ll make a mention of it on the blog when it becomes listed. Thanks for your interest.
Looking through your blog is inspiring me to pull out my embroidery supplies and get to making something fun!
