And I have no doubt she sat near a window just the way I do, for optimum light. And she probably watched her babies toddle around the room and she probably rose every once in a while to stir the soup on the stove. In this we are the same.

Brooke, that is a fantastic notion! April, your work is beautiful!!! No shocker there though!
OK I have a question - how does one obtain/use a light board? I too love embroidery (hey there's a thought for the teacher's gifts - I could do books on tea towels or something...); I'd like to find/buy a design for the Golden Gate Bridge (or else something SF) for my sister as she and her (soon-to-be) hubby are moving to New Orleans in the fall from SF. Any ideas??

I may revisit embroidery.
after this sewing frenzy.
Beautiful work. Love the birds.
