| stitched flowers, crewel work fosters warm memories of Momma, the artiste This lovely piece hangs in my living room. When my hubby and I gave the kit to my multi-talented momma, I had never heard of crewel work. But I knew that my mother could do anything she set her mind to do. So I wasn't surprised that this lovely and precious work came to be. with abundant pleasure, I'm linked to radiant Rebecca and others at Haiku My Heart   |

You know, you made me think. Back when I was being raised by my Mother, we never thought of her as an artist, yet when you think about it, she was indeed an artist in every sense of the word. She could sew, she cooked from scratch, she arranged the house by placing furniture, (Feng Shui?) , hanging pictures and photos, arranging flowers in a vase, making hats, mittens and scarves from wool yarn and so on and on. I'm sure when I talk to my sister, she'll remember more examples.
ReplyDeleteCrewel, embroidery, knitting, crochet. All these things were done my Mom at home at some time or another.
Thank you for this post today. Lifted me up tremendously.
Peace
Thank you, Spadoman, your kind words mean a lot to me.
DeleteYou are blessed to have some of your mother's crewel still available to display. Many of our family heirlooms were destroyed by a bitter and angry sibling.
