Milo’s Bargello, 8″ x 31″, Bondville, Vermont 2023
Started December 1999, then never finished as I remember feeling like I didn't have the skills to do it right. Milo died in about 2011, so he never got it.

My New Obsession, 37″ x 37″, Vermont, 2022
Love this Obsession pattern as an intermediary step between Tula's Nova pattern (Alice EPP) as my first EPP, and the ultimate Passcaglia (from Willyne Hammerstein) which I want to do at some point. Loving working with Karen Tripp's floral fabrics, bringing in my own too.
