| stitching by April Martin cotton thread on canvas |
I'm visiting our daughter April and this post is about the textile soul of her apartment.
Many of the fabrics are of her own design, like this wall hanging and curtains.

She was inspired by the eyelet embroidery in
the circle project for this piece.

Some of the pieces are gifts from me.

your daughter...so much
Congratulations to April! She certainly does have an apartment with plenty of "textile soul." Now, when will you give a tour of your own textile paradise? ;)
you must be so proud of her!! her textile work is lovely. what medium(s) does she like for sculpture?
Grand accomplishment! Her apartment looks less like Chicago and more like Scandinavia till the last shot. So many many congratulations and all the best for the future to her.
You must be very proud, of course she took after her mother!
