Well known for her silk and metal embroidery classes and her Asian themed designs, she will be much missed. Her website has disappeared but I did manage to find photographs of some of her teaching pieces. This is Ocean Waves.

This is Celestial Dimension.

I don't know the name of this one, sorry, but it appears to be Japanese Embroidery as well.

This is Asian Journey, one of Judy's lovely teaching pieces. I hope these few images will show the range and depth of her stitching. She'll be greatly missed by her students and many friends,

Please don't post guesses. The piece you call Mating Game is actually Mating Season. It is not Japanese Embroidery. It is needlepoint on a countable Japanese fabric, Sha, using some techniques from Japanese Embroidery. LW in Plano, TX
This is very sad news to all of the needlepoint world.
