My embroidered “history of us” wedding dress, in action!
I created oversized, embroidered (with yarn), centerpieces for our wedding tables

I embroidered a special centerpiece just for our table-for-two
Our place cards were plantable seeds, so naturally I had to make a play on words for the centerpiece on the welcome table…
The Sweethearts Table embroidered centerpiece – in action!

Finally decided to crochet an entire blanket, after discovering the urchins and limpets pattern
My mother went to school for fiber arts, so I cornered her to teach me how to weave on a lap loom! Someday I’ll “graduate” to her table and floor looms packed away in the basement…
