My handmade linen projects using handwoven/handprinted fabrics.









I use a combination of handwoven/handprinted silks & cottons in my linen projects. I'm drawn to earth tones and ethnic prints & motifs.

Lace flower vase.

I had a BALL making this one. Rosettes, 105 year old ancestral laces, silk & embroidery. This frame must be at least 15 years old. I've preserved most of the family heirloom laces in this fashion. I made about 4 more vazes using the remaining family lace I had. My daughter says it wasn't easy photographing them because of the reflective glass.

Houses & village.



At one time I was obsessed with houses. Clusters really intrigue me. There's another image that my daughter still has to upload.
I have a friend in India who bought several of the clusters I'd appliqued & embroidered. Wish I had photos...

Fields, gardens & forest.











The lavender fields & the rose twilight (round frame) have been kidnapped by my daughter & taken away to Richmond, VA. She says she'll be entering them in an exhibition at the Ginter Botanical gardens next year.
The sunflower field, house (with pond & garden) & forest remain with me. I might lose them to her next year, perhaps.
I use a lot of french knots like you can see...

Using the yarn my daughter spun...





I made the 2 pieces above using the yarns that my daughter spun for me on her spinning wheel in the United States (close ups are larger). She intends to get me more the next time she returns. My daughter weaves & spins.

Flowers & fields...







Flowers & fields.
I’ve always had a fascination for flowers, both in their detailed form & in fields. Sunflowers are my special favorites. The vase of sunflowers was juxtaposed in a frame along with hand made laces that belong to my grand mother & her mother!

Birds of different feathers










All of these birds live in my house. Of the hundreds of embroideries I’ve made & sold, the birds continue to remain with me. They’ve thrilled my friends, my nieces & cousins.
