New Embroidery Design: Gemstone Dragonfly for Katie

There’s a story behind my latest freehand ribbon embroidery design. But, my big brother is visiting, so I’ll save the whole story for next week.

Until then, here’s a sneak peek at Katie’s custom dragonfly embroidery:

I’m tickled with how it finally turned out… What do you think?

And, the 2011 Dorr Mill Award Winner is…

Embroidered felt hat, Jungle Flower!

My felted knit hat, "Jungle Flower" won this year's Dorr Mill Award at the Sunapee Fair.

Each August, visitors to the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen’s Sunapee Fair can visit CraftWear, a glorious collection of fine, handmade art-to-wear.

The LNHC CraftWear boutique offers one-of-a-kind jewelry, clothing and accessories.

Many thanks to Dorr Mill, for the award. I’m delighted by the recognition, especially considering the talent of my fiber artist peers.
