Eat Cake by Jeanne Ray

'This is a story of how my life was saved by cake,' says Ruth. In this novel, Jeanne Ray does for cake what Joanne Harris (Chocolat ) did for chocolate. She reminds us that life is full of change and that when one door closes, another can open. To top it off, she includes recipes for many of the cakes baked in the story, and, believe me, after reading this scrumptious novel, you will want a slice." -- from the LIBRARY JOURNAL review by Tamara Butler, Olean Public Library., NY

Visualize Whirled Peas

Freestyle. Center is a pysanky design found in Zenon Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs: A Comprehensive Album of Ukrainian Easter Eggs. Love that book. Around the egg are my doodles, which turned out to look vaguely pea-pod-ish. This piece is completely covered with stitches and is roughly the size of the palm of my hand.

This bit of freestyle embroidery I based on a pysanky design found in Zenon Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs: A Comprehensive Album of Ukrainian Easter Eggs. A fantastic book.

Dimensions: about 3 inches across.

Thank You, Sue Dove

Stumbled on Sue Dove's wonderful book, Painting with Stitches, and it's inspired me to start doing a bit of free-style embroidery.
