i have been taking a class in ethiopian embroidery at the portland fiber gallery. the stitches we have been using are all chain stitch. i have never made my embroidery this beautiful or meticulous. look - even the backs are neat! i love learning someone else's technique as if i am a beginner.

thanks for the sweet comments. i had a great teacher who helped me to think in a different way. plus, i was working with materials i had never used before, which made my style different. love that open-mindedness, when i can do it.
taz - working on the tagging. it's my first tag. stay tuned.
This is gorgeous, Maggie! I love the colors you're using, and that chain stitch gives everything a beautiful texture!
