This is a needlepoint picture I made, when I was a young teacher. I worked from a high quality kit, which as you see, is a picture of a painting by Paul Cezanne. I’ve always loved still life arrangements. I create and change them around the house, all the time.
There are a few more photos by Karl in my post, Lily And Needlepoint.

Thank you Debbie. It was like coloring a picture – took time, but nice to see progress.

It does indeed remind me of my uncle’s still life. Thank you for pointing that out.

Awhile ago, I saw a book of paintings by Vermeer. Some of your photos of Natalie remind me of his art.

Oh that is lovely! I wish my eyes still permitted me to do counted cross stitch–I enjoyed that.

I was curious what options might be available now and did a Google search. Saw some large stitch kits and pictures.

My mother was a needlepoint instructor, and though I’ve passed on many of her pieces, I still have a few. I did a bit myself, and have pondered buying the kit of Alphonse Mucha’s “Poetry”, from which my avatar is taken. Yours is beautiful. I’m just not sure my eyes would be up to it at this point — or if I’d have the time, since I’m not willing to take even more time away from writing.
A happy Sunday to you!

Dear Linda, Thank you. I bought another needlepoint kit some time ago, and know what you mean about saving our eyes for words now. Happy Sunday to you too. Ellen
