In a needlepoint store, we are always excited when we see younger stitchers. We want the art to continue to the next generation! But recently, I was struck by the fabulous work done by some of our older stitchers. The Rockefeller Stocking was done by Bertha who is in her 90's. Yes, it is on #18 mesh. She has done an absolutely wonderful job and is almost finished with the stocking. It has taken her less than a year -- and she had her hip operated on in the meantime.
Ed is also an older stitcher. He does beautiful geometrics. He was kind enough to let us take his picture with his most recent canvas.
These people continue to get enormous pleasure from stitching. And we get to see their great work.
