Inspiration Avenue-- Needlework

Inspiration Avenue's theme this week is needlework, so I thought I would show you some of the things I have done that goes with this theme.  I have taught some needlework projects as well with my elementary students.

Stunning examples of this week's IA challenge. Love the one using straws. I've seen that technique before, but had completely forgotten about it.

Great examples of how varied needlework can be! I love the little knitted ornament and your daughter's cardigan is adorable (as is your daughter)!

Wow! You are talented with all needles :)
I love the purse and I can never resist a baby, especially in a hand-knit sweater! That will be a keepsake. ♥

I love all the variety you've shown here- just beautiful! And your mixed media works are wonderful, a perfect combination of color, texture and whimsy- my fave is the one with the heart and rose; just beautiful!
