Every tapestry I have ever seen left—for my tastes—a lot to be desired. Really, I think, just because they were many hundreds of years old, and the colors were undoubtedly muted because of that. Not to mention that many of those tapestries have very stiff presentations. But these! Wow!Josephhttp://www.cft411.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-8908142215077451692011-06-22T10:16:27.347-04:002011-06-22T10:16:27.347-04:00As a hobby sewer who only has dabbled in the craft...As a hobby sewer who only has dabbled in the craft of needlepoint; I for one fully appreciate Jill's talent. Not only is it an art form that is extremely time consuming but it is one that demands superior creativity. Her creations are wonderful! <br />Thanks for sharing Paul. -Brenda-mrsbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490065292054880863noreply@blogger.com
