Pete probably needed someone to explain things to him

cool, thank you!

oh my gosh that book is fantastic! Can I ask where you found it? I would love to fill one with stitches, or maybe I just need to make one myself 😄. I would love to see progress photos 😊

This stitched piece initially began in response to the fires in Los Angeles and the looming threat of climate change as more areas of the world burn more frequently.

That must have taken a while! They look beautiful.

beautiful shot! I loved seeing the blue angels fly over when I lived in the west loop.

yes, way calmer, stitched while on a teaching trip to New Zealand January/February 2020. This was the first stitched linen piece I ever made, once the pandemic hit I couldn't stop stitching.

I started stitching linen with embroidery floss on a daily basis in 2020 as a way to deal with the stresses of the pandemic, protests, fires… I never stopped. This is what I stitched in 2024.
