From the manner in which a woman draws her thread at every stitch of her needlework, any other woman can surmise her thoughts.
~Honore de Balzac

    Beautiful...and very inventive.

    Especially liked the multi-colored one with the hearts and "teardrops."

    Such cheerful, colorful design work! I love to look at the different traditional ethnic artwork/patterns/designs/textiles from countries around the world. These gave me a huge smile. :-)
