ReplyDeleteYes Dianne it's going to be lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteI wandered around your site. I really appreciate your blog about the development of your tapestry entitled Quiet Evening, An Homage to My Mother. The dedication to weaving, unweaving, and re-weaving is perfect. The result is lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work!! What a fun tour this is
ReplyDeleteThank you. I know that it can be painful to change large areas of a tapestry as I have done it that particular tapestry. Nothing is more disappointing than wishing you had changes something once it is completed.
