After touring the country for 5 years, Bedtime Stitches, the exhibition of original embroidered bas-relief artwork for my picture book, MY BED, is winding down. There will be 2 more showings this year in New England. Both exhibitions are hosted by the Mariposa Museum in their two locations, in Oak Bluffs, MA on the island of Martha’s Vineyard and in Peterborough, NH.

Bedtime Stitches and Other Works ~ July 25 – Nov. 1, 2025
Mariposa Museum, Peterborough, NH.
This location will include a wide selection of Salley Mavor’s art.

On Wed., July 9th, I’ll be taking the short ferry ride from my hometown of Woods Hole to Oak Bluffs, for a Meet the Artist event at 4:00 pm at the Mariposa Museum. If you’re visiting Martha’s Vineyard or live on the island, I’d love to meet you!

Right around the corner from the museum are hundreds of gingerbread-style cottages in the Martha’s Vineyard Camp-Meeting Assoc. Campground. The cottages have an interesting history, with their tiny plots originally holding tents for religious revival meetings started in the 1840’s.

Since the 2020 premiere of Bedtime Stitches at the Cahoon Museum, 5 heavy duty shipping boxes full of framed artwork and mounted information panels have been shipped thousands of miles, to and from a dozen museums around the country.

Many of you’ve written to tell me how you made the trip to see my work, driving for hours in carloads of friends and family, and sometimes even coming by train or airplane. I so appreciate all of your extraordinary efforts to see the show. And I’m thankful to the different host venues that made it possible for the public to see up close the fine detail and 3-dimensional quality of my bas-relief sculptural embroideries. Even though the tour is officially ending in Nov., 2025, interested museums and curators are welcome to contact me for information about hosting an exhibition of these pieces and/or other artwork from my personal collection. To get in touch, please use the contact form at the bottom of this page.

For those of you who live too far away to experience my work in person, the following 2 videos offer a way to relish the scenes and see every little stitch. Also, autographed copies of MY BED: Enchanting Ways to Fall Asleep around the World are available in my shop here.

It took 2 to 3 years to make the 18 illustrations for MY BED. During that period, I shared the process of making the stitched 3-dimensional artwork. Posts about each page are listed here:
