Is Sharon my soulmate in embroidery journaling? The array of fun fabrics, applique, lettering: this style hits so close to home! Love it!

Gloria Elizabeth

I'm afraid I won't do justice explaining the genius behind Gloria's plan, so here's a quote from her letter:

My theme is “My heart leaps up”, the first line of a poem by the English poet William Wordsworth. I wanted the structure to capture the rainbow of the poem, the rising heart, and a spinning motion to suggest the joy the rainbow brings to the poet.

Pouring your impressions from a poem into an embroidered medium of a journal... that's amazing!

Once again, thank you to all the participants! You're such an inspiration!

A round of applause for all the hard work in these not so easy circumstances nowadays.
