From a Woman's Hand

Next to my chair I noticed this lovely shadow from the lace curtains as the morning light came through the window.  It highlighted a piece of handmade lace I bought from an elderly woman in St. Petersburg, Russian in 2005.  The quilted tablecloth was made by my dear friend Dotty who died at 95 a few years ago.  The embroidered panel I made during the first year of the pandemic and features buttons from my mother, grandmother and auntie, all highly skilled with a needle and thread.  Today, woman's hands will be busy during my 'playdate" with friends in the studio.  The work of women's hands continues.
