Your punch needle embroidery is outstanding. Have you presented shows or classes in the Wash.DC area? This needle art form is not known by many people.
Thank you so much for your comment. I am so glad that you enjoy my work. I’d love to present my work in Washington DC area- if I ever got the opportunity. I have taught workshops, here in North Carolina.
