I had to title this post ‘Eek!’ for two reasons:

1. That was my honest reaction when I received this work, and
2. Not Your Grandma’s Needlepoint wouldn’t fit the subject line.

This piece is titled ‘Still Life With Carmen Miranda.’ Ha. I love funny.

Another beautiful embroidery installation. In Ilaria’s words, embroidering is a “courageous sign of preservation, of mending a wound, of keeping a memory or of disguising an apparent shape.”
