‘Irish Cottage’ this one is stitched on the most beautiful colour of green velvet. The heather is a mix of French knots and glass beads. French knots also for the stone fences.

The first ‘Twillingate Stage’ was a commission for my cousin of their family stage. I loved how it turned out so much I asked permission to make another one. This one was handstitched in June of 2022. Tons of teeny tiny French knots on the beach and single strand floss. #landscapeembroidery #thread

‘Prairie Path’ was Handstitched in 2023. It found is home at my first Merrickville Arts Guild show that fall. I have always loved how the teeny path stitches and fluffy clouds turned out on this one.

‘Looking Up’ took about 49 hours to stitch, the sky was stitched first and then the trees were stitched over that. This artwork won and honourable mention at the Window Gallery’s juried exhibition in 2023 and sold at the end of 2024!
