A Unique Voice

For me needlepoint is an escape, an adventure, and a way to expresses and increase my creative voice. I think I've found a blog that expresses my feelings much better than I ever could.  Let me introduce Jean Phillips, writer and stitcher.

I deliberately didn't comment on Jean's blog. My statement to her is going to be all the friends I am sending her way this morning.  Surprise, Jean!  Bet you didn't know you say all the things I feel but can't articulate....

A Gift of Frank UPDATED

This story of a memorial piece is from the Queen of Bargello, Althea DeBrul.  Many of the pieces you see at needlework exhibits have wonderful stories behind them.  After all, we just saw the years of thought and planning that went into The Fishing Lady yesterday.   Think of the wonderful gift of Frank that was born at Callaway and returned there to win a ribbon.

UPDATE: Another wonderful Frank Lloyd Wright adaptation, this time from a card.
