I have to finish the edges and then mount & frame it still, but the thread painting is done! Here is a commission I finished for K. She saw my
Wolf Willow & Prairie Lilies at the Centre Galleries last fall and really wanted this scene. It was already sold. I told the first buyer that this might happen and she was okay with it. No two are ever identical as they are all hand done - so in that sense, everyone gets an original. I certainly don't mind! I loved this one and barely spent much time with it. It was sold before it was even finished last year! Here are some pretty details of Wolf Willow & Prairie Lilies 2, for K.

That's all I'm going to show you! I want K. to be the first to see the whole thing. She won't be getting this for a while since I'm having it juried with the provincial craft council some time next month. I need a dozen pieces on hand, so everything I'm making now needs to stay put for a bit.
Thank you K.! I really enjoyed stitching this one for you.

Hi Monika
I'm looking for a bit of technical help please. I see your blog posts come up on your facebook page. Do you have that set up automatically or do you do it a post at a time? Can you point me to any "how to" resource? Thanks:)
I'm amazed that these are not photographs/ paintings, but actually stitched!!! This is beyond beautiful!! Love it! :)
I think this is one of my favorites. I love the grasses and flowers in the foreground but there is something about trees silhouetted on the horizon.
I love this one....but then I love all of them LOL
I am totally in awe looking at your stitching...the grass and flowers have just come to life! Amazing!
The little glimpses are just wonderful!! Wishing you a lovely weekend.. and hey.. did you get any snow with the storm we got last night? We got a whooping 3 inches.. but it felt so magical!
Thanks for the help Monika.
