Time has passed and I am still getting used to blogging so I have a bit of filling in to do to catch this up to date. In January, as I was finishing the embroidery of the Biltmore project I created a valentine to send off to Fiberarts Magazine. I had the honor of having this valentine postcard selected for First Place in the Fiberarts Jacquard Card Valentine Competition. My husband Cornelis was honored and the valentine resides on a shelf in his massage room. It was the first creative endeavor after completing the panels. When you make something from your heart, it is imbued with a special energy.
